In 1938 Air Schools Limited was formed to train pilots for the RAF. In 1949, Derby Aviation became a subsidiary of Air Schools Limited and later became BMI. The company changed its name to British Midland Airways (BMA) in late 1964 in conjunction with its relocation to East Midlands Airport. Now you can avail yourself of any number of flights - BMI offers more than 1,800 each week - to various cities in Europe as well as Russia and Marrakech (Maroc). BMI has grown to be the second biggest airline carrier flying out of Heathrow in London. Heathrow has the status of being among the busiest and largest airlines in operation today. Needless to say, BMI is very sought after by international travelers who are traveling to Heathrow or just doing a stop over en route to other places.
It comes as no surprise that a lot of flyers are not that familiar with BMI, but have no trouble recognizing the Lufthansa, the name of the airline BMI is now a part of. MI came under the control of Lufthansa in 2009. Lufthansa is a very popular airline from Germany. Considering the number of passengers it flies each year, Lufthansa Airlines ranks fourth worldwide. Star Alliance is the most respected airline alliance worldwide and Lufthansa Airlines is proud to be one of its founding members.
