According to this all the details haven't been finalised, GLA and LTN are also fighting for the route.

Slots not yet finalised, maybe? GLA and LTN presumably were contenders for the route also at one point, but I can't believe BMI would put EDI flights on sale if they still hadn't decided whether or not the route would op from EDI. BMI went for BRU from LTN in the end, I believe? Hopefully it's just a minor detail still outstanding and the route will commence as scheduled in March. Callum.

Nothing, provided they can fully explain what their 'concerns' are based on. They haven't really done that, and they've failed to track down a BMI spokesperson to set the record straight.

All they're likely to have achieved here, besides confusing the hell out of us, is to have sparked concern among people who may already have purchased tickets for this service. Perhaps an email to the journalist concerned and the airline would get some clarification Callum? To be fair to David Leask at the ET he is actually interested in the subject he writes about and appreciates feedback - perhaps his counterpart at the Evening News might have similar feelings? easyJet press office were most appreciative of the feedback re press innaccuracies a few weeks ago and I am now in receipt of a most useful voucher! But I totally agree Callum all the article has done is to raise concerns for people who had already or had intended to book this service. If the service hadn't been secured it would actually be illegal for tickets to be sold for it. I cannot believe for a second the airline is that naive. I suspect the transport correspondent at the Evening News might well be.

A similar situtaion achieved by the Evening Times by creating the impression that easyJet were pulling their GLA-AMS service a month early 3 weeks ago. Jim I thought this later bit was pretty choice as well: "Currently, the possible destinations in Germany are Cologne, which is served by the Germanwings airline, and Hamburg - served by Hapag-Lloyd Express. But BMI would be the first major airline to fly to the country from the Capital" Presumably LH are not a major airline - I think they'll be surprised to hear that!!!
