The subsidiary of Lufthansa Airline, British Midland Airlines<\/a><\/strong> (BMI) has recently announced that the carrier will no longer be operating direct flights between London Heathrow and Glasgow.<\/p>\n

As reported by abtn news, the carrier blames its decision on a 50% increase in domestic passenger\u2019s charges at BAA-owned London Heathrow that cost around a million each month to the airlines. The carrier, that has been playing a \u2018tug of war\u2019 with British Airways(BA) over domestic routes, has criticized the flagship carrier BA for being \u2018unreasonably\u2019 discriminating against domestic passengers and domestic operations to\/from London Heathrow Airport.<\/p>\n

London Heathrow is the home and hub of British Airways and the only national hub of UK. It is where most of the international airlines are based including, Emirates Airline, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, KLM, Air France, South African Airways, Iberia and many more.<\/p>\n

British Midland Airline (BMI) has also requested the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to investigate the matter. The complaint is launched under section 41 of the Airports Act 1986, which gives the CAA powers above airports found anticompetitive.<\/p>\n

The BMI airline is set to close its Glasgow route operations from March 27, 2011. The airline has been offering seven daily flights on the route.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
