bmi has extended its complimentary Chauffeur Drive service to include UK regional airports. The service is now available to and from Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Manchester airports in addition to London Heathrow.

Customers travelling on selected Business Class fares to Almaty, Amman, Azerbaijan, Beirut, Cairo, Damascus, Kyrgyzstan, Moscow, Saudi Arabia, Tel Aviv and Yerevan can now take advantage of this service to and from the airport at each end. The service is also available in the UK only for those travelling to Tehran and Tbilisi.

Silver E-Class Mercedes Benz are used for Chauffeur Drive within the UK, and equivalent vehicles at the destination, and specially branded parking bays for the E-class Mercedes to pull into are now available at London Heathrow’s Terminal 1. These customers will be met on arrival by a bmi concierge, who will collect their bags and transfer them to bmi’s newly designed Premium check-in zone at Terminal 1, creating a faster route through the airport.
