25/07/2002-bmibaby virtual announced
bmi british midland virtual is delighted to announce the birth of its new no frills airline, bmibaby virtual, which was born today at East Midlands Virtual Airport. The babys birthday suit will be unveiled at an official launch promotion.
The party will be hosted by bmibabys new guardian and managing director, Jordan Rozario, who said:
I am thrilled to be responsible for bmis virtual new offspring and have been delighted by the overwhelming response from the public, that we have had to our announcement, launching the East Midlands own no frills airline. Indeed the response has been so great, I am extremely confident that we will be able to extend even further, our range of destinations on offer, through our ability to bring further aircraft into the fleet of bmibaby.
I am also looking forward to the competition that bmibaby virtual will bring to the East Midlands. Indeed, I fully understand why other airlines will be throwing their toys out of the pram.
Their disappointment must surely be because their desperate attempts to pre-empt our own plans, with an announcement of unspecific promises of phantom services at East Midlands Airport, did not thwart our own long held ambition to launch a no frills airline.
Ben Guest, Chief Executive Officer of bmi British Midland Virtual , also commented:
I am delighted to be able to announce the appointment of Jordan Rozario as managing director of our new no frills airline and am confident that he is ideally suited to this new role. Jordan has a wide range of experience in the airline industry, most recently as our HUB Manager, which he will still maintain. We are committed to providing genuine competition to consumers in a wide range of markets, including the niche market of no frills travel. bmi british midland virtual, at the same time, maintains its commitment, as a full service airline, to the development of our services in Europe and to the USA, particularly from our main operating hubs at Heathrow and Manchester.
bmibaby will be flying a dedicated fleet of Boeing 737-300 aircraft and serve an extensive range of key leisure destinations, including high frequency services to Barcelona, Nice, Palma, Malaga, Faro and Alicante. Other routes will be anounced soon.
