Air France Suspends LAX-LHR; Jet Airways Suspends SFO-BOM
October 10 2008
2 moderate profile international flight suspensions I thought I’d pass along:
Air France will cancel its nonstop service from LAX to London Heathrow - without any major SkyTeam hub on either end, and quite a bit of competition, it was a non-starter. Instead, it will fly a codeshare with Delta from London Heathrow to JFK, essentially giving Delta a 3rd daily nonstop on the route.
And Jet Airways will cancel its San Francisco - Mumbai flight (via Shanghai), as it could no longer handle the losses on the route. That doesn’t bode well for Kingfisher’s announced entry into the busy US-India market.

Wow, that Jet Airways flight lasted all but a few months.

not that many people, apparently
Actually, from the west coast, it’s not a bad way to go.
