American Cancels JFK-BUD

[Matt Molnar]

AA's seasonal JFK-Budapest service, scheduled to resume on April 4th, has been axed.

An internal email said the change was the result of Malev's demise.

is anybody still serving Budapest direct?

[Matt Molnar]

Nope. Delta dropped it in November.

So there were three carriers on this route and we went straight to zero? That's unusual. Perhaps some other airline can make a profit on this route now?

[megatop412]

I'm assuming the load factors weren't there for Delta to keep it- they will probably be served by one of the Alliances now

I'm with Tom....usually an airline fading out means more profit for remaining airlines. I'm shocked SOMEONE didn't stay.

Maybe we'll see a seasonal charter or a new Air Baltia appear.
