bmi just posted on Facebook:
We’d like to advise you that the EU Competition Authority has today approved the sale of bmi to IAG. We are very aware that Diamond Club members want to know what will happen to their accounts when bmi is acquired by British Airways.
The deal between bmi and British Airways is due to be completed around 20th April 2012. We would like to reassure you that we plan to operate our summer schedule as normal and you can continue to earn and redeem Diamond Club miles during this period.
We are working together to announce a Diamond Club partnership with British Airways. This will include the ability to earn and redeem Diamond Club destinations miles across the bmi and BA networks.
We will be communicating regularly with you as more information becomes available and flybmi.com will also be updated with the latest information.
Partnership, could Diamond Club survive?
I wonder how long “across bmi and BA networks” will include Star Alliance carriers?
I have just received a letter from Peter Simpson Managing Director about ‘the diamond club. I have never been nor will I ever be a member of such a club. This has made me extremely angry!!
Please STOP sending me e mails and remove my details from your database.
Miss I Nelson
