British Midland plc
 PROFILE
British Midland is David to British Airways' Goliath. The UK's #2 airline operates 1,300 flights a week across Europe, most of which take off from London's Heathrow Airport, and it has introduced service to the US, from Manchester. It operates under the name bmi british midland; the lowercase spelling is part of the company's effort to be seen as more contemporary. The carrier owns 60 planes and has another 15 on order. It is a member of the Star Alliance global marketing group, and Star members Lufthansa and SAS each own a 20% stake in British Midland. Chairman Sir Michael Bishop and directors John Wolfe and Stuart Balmforth own the rest.
