Airline bmi has announced it is to undergo restructuring involving a reduction in planes and routes and the possible loss of at least 600 jobs.

The carrier, formerly British Midland Airways, said job reductions would come from all areas of its business.

Announcing that it was suspending loss-making routes, bmi said it was reducing the number of planes in its international operation from 39 to 30.

Flights from Heathrow to Brussels, Tel Aviv and Kiev, as well as to Aleppo in Syria, will be suspended in January and the service from Heathrow to Amsterdam will be suspended at the end of the current winter timetable period in March.

Bmi said: "The number of full-time equivalent jobs at risk of redundancy is expected to be approximately 600. However further job cuts cannot be ruled out."
