Bmi is to withdrawn from the highly competitive London-Paris route.
Flights from Heathrow will be suspended from March 25, although early cancallations in February and earlier in March are likely.
The Bmi regional service from Leeds/Bradford to the French capital is also being dropped from March 25.
Bmi passngers booked on the Parish flights from Heathrow are to be transferred to either Air France or British Airways services.
Airlines on the London-Paris route have been facing increased competition from Eurostar fast passenger trains through the Channel Tunnel.
Bmi said the Heathrow-Paris route was being suspended “due to commercial reasons”.
