A real pity and I hope there won't be too many more airline collapses for some time now. This one is linked back to bmi International which was previously British Midland. When I was at school and then at university I used to fly with them a lot between Scotland and London, enjoying the great service in those days. Always hated BA for absorbing bmi (as well as Dan Air and BCal). I was hoping they would last and strengthen somehow, but they were flying all those graveyard routes around Europe that Cirrus and Intersky seemed to do.
