LAS VEGAS -- Another air carrier is pulling out of McCarran International Airport.BMI, a British carrier that began a route between Manchester and Las Vegas on Oct. 31, 2004, will stop the route April 26, 2009.The airline, which flies the route three times a week, is also stopping service to Chicago.The airline said the routes have not performed to the revenue levels it had hoped for.BMI served more than 55,000 passengers in 2007, making it the 12th busiest international carrier at McCarran.BMI, the second-largest airline at London’s Heathrow International Airport, began its Las Vegas service with more than 2,000 daily flights per week to 37 destinations in 12 countries.BMI is one of three carriers with nonstop flights between Las Vegas and Europe.A company representative said it is possible the route could return after Germany’s Lufthansa completes its acquisition of BMI early next year.
