Cancelled services and discontinued routes in 2016

KLM have cancelled or postponed Tehran resumption in May.

KLM and Eurowings cancelling Tehran, that's strange considering the potential all the economists and media are talking about... and I can tell you Iran has a huge touristic potential, wonderful sights and people!

Been there last year, before the expected tourist boom.
Can tell you they r waiting for european tourists.

Eurowings was to be just once weekly, KLM might announce new schedule later.

Ryan Air drop following routes from Alghero in summer according to airlineroute.net

Thank you new Italian passenger tax! Ryanair bases in Alghero and Pescara are closed.

The 4x weekly route from Alghero to CRL is maintained though! Also the 3x weekly route from Pescara to CRL. Both routes will be operated by-CRL-based aircraft.

You can't really say it's cancelled, as it wasn't officially announced and removed from GDS within 24 hours. More likely to be an error, an error that indicates they are considering IKA though.

Dutch touroperator Thomas Cook cancels Lesbos for the summer season. Reason: the Dutch tourists don't want to go there. Kos also looses, Corfu, Kreta and Rhodos gain from it.

General booking trend in the Netherlands, compared to the same period last year: Turkey -30% / Spain +52% / Portugal +44%.

Did SN quietly drop Douala? Or problem at the airport? Currently service seems limited to Yaounde.

DLA airport is working on its RWY.
For the last 2 weeks the RWY was already shortened to just 2200m (leading to significant payload restrictions) and since the first of March the second phase started, meaning the RWY is temporarily unusable.

Jet Airways will cancel B737-800 service from Mumbai to Ho Chi Minh City via Bangkok on 26 March 2016. But I guess nobody cares, since it is on the same date they cancel their flights to Brussels.
