British Airways parent IAG said the discount arm of the BMI business bought from Deutsche Lufthansa AG will close this weekend with 450 job losses after no buyer could be found for a unit that doesn’t fit with its operations.
“After a review of options for BMIbaby and following formal consultation with union and employee representatives, the business will be closed, with the last flight departing Sept. 9,” IAG, as International Consolidated Airlines Group SA is known, said today in a statement on its August traffic figures.
