Air travel cancelled (continued)

Airlines are all the time cancelling routes and reducing schedules, as well of course expanding. The shutdowns, as we have previously said, gain very little coverage and we are grateful to readers who send in information.  MORE PLEASE.  If a route is not shown for April next year it has probably gone. 

This is the case with Lufthansa between Frankfurt and Guangzhou.  It was launched in 2004 and it has gone the way of the Finnair operation inaugurated from Helsinki in 2005 only for it to be scrapped three years later.  Also departed is Dresden from Heathrow, from the start of next summer’s season.  There are no links to Dresden from any other UK airport.

Flights from London are being dropped by Air Seychelles in January as part of a restructuring which saw the airline recruit its fourth chief executive in as many years last month.  Milan, Rome and Singapore went last week.

Delta has announced that it will be suspending its twice weekly Atlanta – Shanghai route once again from 18 January 2012.  It first began the service as a daily flight in 2008, and suspended it in 2009.  The route was resumed in June 2011.  This column appears from time to time. www.oag.com
