BA buys BD. Codeshare query.
Many British Midland (BD) flights carry codeshare numbers from people like
United, Lufthansa and other Star carriers. Anyone know how much notice they have to give before they can stop providing that service to their Star partners now that British Airways (BA), which is a oneWorld carrier, has entered into an agreement to buy BD? |

The article says that details are still being negotiated. Since the current owner is Lufthansa, I'd expect the code shares would be part of the negotiations, so we won't know until they deign to tell us. R's, John |

I should add I'm not travelling, just interested. One assumes that in any codeshare agreement (be it within or without an Alliance) there is some process which has to be followed to unravel agreements. There must also be a process for leaving an Alliance. Now BA could leave BMI as a member of Star but I can't see that happening. So, at some point the various codeshares and Star membership will end. Until that point BMI will probably contunie to exist in some form. I'm just trying to get a handle on when that might be and, at the same time, understand how certain elements of the industry work. |
