The Regional subsidiary also existed as its own separate airline much like BA’s Cityflyer but since that is under BA as one airline I’ll add bmi Regional in here, neither of the aircraft are currently in game but they are confirmed to be coming in the near future.

:pushpin: Why should this airline be added?
An historically significant airline to the UK as the main competitor to BA for many years. The final livery it wore was exceptionally popular but sadly wasn’t enough to save it from recession. It would operate as a local airline to LHR as well as having a base in MAN. Would diversify flights from LHR and bring BMI back from the dead much to many players excitement.

Are you ready for me to make all these livery posts tomorrow evening? :rofl:

Wouldn’t it be a separate airline? FlyBMI and BMI are different no?

Potentially yes, not sure, this has been added into the table regarding airlines added to the game so I assumed. If it’s different then I won’t need to be a bug

If I’m not mistaken FlyBMI is what remained of BMI Regional isn’t it after they merged into British Airways?

Yes it is, Was the only bit Lufthansa kept hold of and they sold it off afterwards. If it is separate, obviously up to the devs with that one, this can remain here. Would I need to remove the regional bit from the post though?

To be fair I wouldn’t bother, the suggestion is here and it saves you the pain of editing it, and me the pain of looking at even more liveries. If we ever get a BMI mainline aircraft then obviously things might be a bit different then, as we’d know that’s BMI itself and not whatever the situation with the regional stuff is.

A win win I’d say. Come back to it another time.
