BMI Baby Belfast to Cardiff?

Can anyone shed light on what's happened to this route? Still advertised as one of their routes but no flights available at all! Rang customer service (ie call centre in Mumbai!) and all they could tell me is 'operational problems'. This is my lifeline route home to family, can't believe it's gone all of a sudden! Does anyone know why and if it's likely to come back? Thanks.

    The ever-shrinking bmibaby have pulled the route I'm afraid. Your other option is flyBe Cardiff to Belfast City, they have increased flights since baby cut their route. Or travelling to Bristol.
  • I keep getting emails telling me there are discounts on flights, I'm even a Diamond Club member, yet cannot find ANY flights from Belfast to Cardiff, and same for Dublin and due to fly off soon. What is going on? Don't airlines even ANNOUNCE if routes are cancelled or suspended??!

    Airlines do not always announce the cancellation of routes, which is a poor show. Would it not be civil for airlines and airports to give that news on their websites?
