History of BMI Baby

The airline was established in January of 2002 and began operations in March with cheap flights to Malaga. With expansion and passenger numbers, BMI Baby was able to open three other bases, Birmingham, Manchester, and Cardiff. In 2007 the airline introduced a new and interesting program with “pay for what you use” approach. Passengers are given the option of services like ticket flexibility, lounge access, on-line check in, etc. and they are billed only for those that they use. The company began cutbacks in 2007 by closing 5 routes. Further cuts were announced in 2009 for a fleet reduction of 17 to 12.
