bmi is set to
implement operational changes at ManchesterAirport with the relocation of its long
haul services to the USA and
Caribbean from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3 starting
June 1.
The move, which also
includes the transfer of bmi regional's Toulouse
service, completes the airline group's move under one roof which first saw
bmibaby, the group's low cost arm, switch terminals at the end of March.
bmi says
additional check-in desks and aircraft parking stands have been secured,
helping to focus and streamline day to day operations in a single location. The
move also allows eligible passengers to access bmi's own business and diamond
club lounges at Terminal 3, rather than using a third-party lounge at Terminal
1. Manchester
is the only airport where all the bmi group airlines – bmi, bmi regional and
bmibaby – are represented.
Adrian Parkes, bmi
commercial director, said, “Manchester
is a key hub for the company and the consolidation of services is a significant
step forward. Operating from a single terminal at Manchester will make it much more convenient
for our passengers, as well as simplifying operations, improving efficiency and
enhancing the overall bmi group experience.”
