Comment / G-MIDC is one of two last remaining 'original' A321s that British Midland took delivery of in the late 1990s. They will soon be replaced by the newer A321s inherited from BMED, as well as five brand-new A321s that the latter had on order.

Comment / G-MIDV was retired from the bmi fleet in January and is now flying for Spanair as EC-KOX.

Comment / A regular sight at Manchester, bmi A330 G-WWBB lands on runway 06R from Chicago O'Hare. Sadly, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the pending EU/US Open Skies agreement lures bmi to transfer its A330s to Heathrow - it's no secret that that's what they bought them for!

Comment / G-MIDK is one of three bmi A321s that shall be moving on to Monarch Airlines at the start of the summer season. G-MIDJ has already been retired and is currently sitting in Monarch colours at East Midlands as G-OZBM, with G-MIDK (as G-OZBN) and G-MIDM (as G-OZBO) due to follow shortly.

Comment / Still flying in the old Star Alliance 'washing line' special colour scheme, now replaced after there became too many airlines in the alliance to fit on one aircraft!
