Business travellers flying with bmi from one of its regional bases
can now take advantage of the carrier’s free Chauffeur Drive service
to and from the airport. The perk – originally restricted to London
Heathrow – will now be offered to premium customers at Dublin, Belfast,
Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Manchester airports.

Business passengers who take advantage of the complimentary pick-up
and drop-off facility will be driven in style in a Silver E-Class
Mercedes Benz. What’s more, on selected routes they will also receive a
comparable chauffeur service at their destination. Eligible connections
include Almaty, Amman, Azerbaijan, Beirut, Cairo, Damascus, Kyrgyzstan,
Moscow, Saudi Arabia, Tel Aviv and Yerevan.

Commenting on the perk, bmi Managing Director Peter Spencer said:
"We are always looking for ways we can improve our offering. These
initiatives help us to deliver a seamless travel solution and reinforce
our commitment to providing the best possible service for business
travel." Passengers who use the service at Heathrow Terminal 1 will
now be met by a bmi concierge, who will collect their bags and transfer
them to the airline’s premium check-in zone.
