If the Brussels service was getting enough passengers it wouldn’t be cancelled after more than 30 years. If you look at the circumstances of the cancellation it sure seems as if the only logical explanation is New York’s decline in importance.- Delta’s ability to gather connecting passengers onto its Brussels flight in Atlanta is nothing new. Atlanta has long been its hub. - There hasn’t been any increase in service to Brussels out of New York so no new competition. There is one daily flight from JFK on Brussels Airlines and one out of Newark (for the sake of argument I’ll count it as a NY airport) on United, just as before. - The easy rail connections to Brussels from Paris and Amsterdam and elsewhere, making flying into one of those cities an easy alternative to a direct Brussels flight, have been around for many years. - As far as I know, there have been no developments in Brussels or the rest of Belgium that might have reduced demand for flights. No changed circumstances yet a cancelled flight. The blame has got to be with New York. |
