British Midland Airways Limited (styled as bmi, and formerly operating as British Midland International), is a scheduled airline based at Castle Donington, United Kingdom, close to East Midlands Airport. The airline flies to destinations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia from its operational base at London Heathrow Airport, where it holds 11% of all take off and landing slots and operates over 2,000 flights a week.
In October 2008, BMI shareholder Lufthansa announced that it was acquiring a further share of the airline for around €318 million, giving it an 80% shareholding. The merger was approved on 14 May 2009. In June 2009 it was announced that Lufthansa planned to buy the remaining stake in the airline from Michael Bishop for less than originally agreed, and Lufthansa took full control of the airline in July 2009. In November 2009, bmi announced a restructuring, suspending seven routes from 2010 and reducing the fleet by nine aircraft.
