It’s fair to say that the aviation industry has taken a bit of a battering in recent months and unsurprisingly airlines are reducing services in a bid to ride out the current economic climate. Bmi has now announced it is cutting several domestic and short haul services, which will be coming into effect at the end of March. Flights from Heathrow to Leeds Bradford, and Durham are being scrapped completely while its Amsterdam service is being reduced in frequency from seven daily flights to four, and Dublin suffering a similar fate with services cut to six a day, down from seven. Capacity will also be cut on Heathrow to Brussels and Aberdeen routes, due to replacing aircraft with a smaller plane for these services.
