Speculation over future ownership of bmibaby after lufthansa buys parent
"Lufthansa, the German airline, said it was too early to spell out the future of BMI's UK operation following its £223m takeover. More than 400 staff are employed at BMI's UK head office at Castle Donington and the headquarters of its low-cost airline BMIbaby is at East Midlands Airport. Lufthansa takes control of the airline, founded by Sir Michael Bishop, on July 1. A spokesman said: "We have no plans at the moment because we have only now got the chance to get into it's financial structure. "Only then could we determine what we can do with BMI, BMI Regional and BMIbaby." The spokesman added that "all possibilities" were on the table."
