Airlines are making adjustments to their flight schedules as they prepare for the busy summer months. This month, six airlines will remove eight routes from their schedules, according to aviation analytics firm Cirium.
Some of these routes are not being completely suspended. They are either being cut due to low demand, poor profitability, operational restrictions, or simply ending as scheduled because they were seasonal. In one instance, a route is transitioning to a partner airline—Lufthansa's route is moving to Discover Airlines.
The affected routes include United Airlines' Newark to Tenerife South flights and Norse Atlantic's Miami connections to Oslo and Berlin. Lufthansa will switch its Minneapolis-Frankfurt service over to Discover Airlines. Other cuts involve KLM Royal Dutch Airlines' Miami-Amsterdam route and Aer Lingus' Las Vegas-Dublin connection. American Airlines is also suspending its Miami-Paris Charles de Gaulle service due to Boeing 787 delivery delays.
