From the BMED website:
bmi will continue to operate BMED's 17 routes: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Aleppo, Syria; Alexandria, Eqypt; Almaty, Kazakhstan; Amman, Jordan; Ankara, Turkey; Baku, Azerbaijan; Beirut, Lebanon; Bishkek, Kyrgystan; Dakar, Senegal; Damascus, Syria; Ekaterinburg, Russia; Freetown, Sierra Leone; Khartoum, Sudan; Tbilisi, Georgia; Tehran, Iran; Yerevan, Armenia.

Some of these are still covered
ADD : no
ALP : RJ
ALY/HBE : RJ
ALA : no
AMM : RJ
ESB : no
BAK/GYD : no
BEY : RJ,MA
FRU : no
DKR : IB
DAM : RJ,MA
SVX : MA
FNA : no
KRT : RJ
TBS : no
THR : no
EVN : no

Also -- I know its not oneworld but its an AA and a BA core partner and many of us hope it will join oneworld -- but SN flies to DKR six days a week and Freetown twice a week.
