British Mediterranean Airways Limited (BMED), stylised as B|MED, was an airline with operations from London Heathrow Airport in England. It operated scheduled services as a British Airways franchise to 17 destinations in 16 countries throughout Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia from London Heathrow. In February 2007, the airline was purchased by BMI, and continued as a British Airways franchise until the night of 27 October 2007, when it was absorbed into, and rebranded as, bmi.
Before the takeover it was headquartered at the Hetherington House in London Borough of Hounslow, near London Heathrow Airport.[1][2] At an earlier point it was headquartered at the Cirrus House in the Borough of Hounslow,[3][4] near Staines-upon-Thames and Stanwell, Surrey.[3][5] At an earlier point its head office was in the City of Westminster.[6]
The company held a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence permitting it to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.[7] The licence was revoked on 31 January 2008.[8]
