bmi is the second largest airline at London Heathrow, one of the world's busiest and best-connected international airports. From our Heathrow hub we operate services in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa and from our Manchester hub transatlantic to the USA and Caribbean.

bmi is committed to using technology such as e-ticketing, online booking, self check-in at the airport and via the internet, helping to smooth and speed up the pre-flight experience. This, combined with streamlined behind-the-scenes processes and procedures, means the airline can boast one of the best punctuality records of any airline operating in the UK.
