Bmi British Midland A330-200

News circulated that the -200 variant of the A330 will be added to the sim. So I thought why not create a poll about the bmi A330-200.

The former UK Star Alliance airline operated three of these units, all equipped with Trent 700 engines. These were flown to destinations like Chicago, Washington, Las Vegas, Mumbai (both from LHR and MAN), Bridgetown, Antigua, St Lucia, Dakar (from MAN), Toronto, Tel Aviv, Amman, Riyadh, Jeddah, Almaty, Freetown, Dammam, Bishkek, Casablanca and Khartoum (from LHR).

I believe this would be a fantastic addition to the A332 in the sim, particularly with its timeless and original livery compared to today’s airlines. It would also open up more routes to explore especially if you’re a user who likes to do some past flying.

Please, give this one a vote!!!

NOTE: This is a recreation of the Pre-existing BMI A330 shown which was originally posted by @Gman who only discussed on the aesthetics of livery itself with vague information and requested users not to vote. That page had been posted 10 years ago. I also granted permission from @Tyler_Shelton to post this feature request.

No worries, come back when able :slightly_smiling_face:


Will definitely be rooting for this, especially with such niche destinations like Bishkek and Khartoum you could fly to from London! Also, a pretty livery.
