Michael David Bishop, Baron Glendonbrook CBE AM (born 10 February 1942) is a British-Australian businessman and life peer who rose to prominence as owner of the airline BMI.

With the help of an entrepreneurial Californian dentist, Bishop raised £2.5 million to lead a management buyout, and was subsequently appointed chairman.

"[5] From 1969 he was the key driving force behind the steady growth of the airline, which held 11% of the landing and take-off slots at London Heathrow Airport, second only to British Airways,[6] and had a route network spanning Europe, North America, Asia and Africa.

[7] BDLH (Lufthansa's holding vehicle) acquired Bishop's share on 1 July 2009, assuming full control of the company.

[11] In February 2011, Bishop was created a life peer as Baron Glendonbrook, of Bowdon in the County of Cheshire,[12][13] and was introduced in the House of Lords the next month,[14] where he sits as a Conservative.

Since purchasing the 18th-century country house on the Bruern site in 2013, he has completely refurbished it, installing a "large and impressive cantilever stone staircase and twenty-five kilometres of data cabling" and an underground car park.
