So...lets compile a list. In the last few weeks we've had:-
Qatar threaten to abandon its new routes entirely in the laptop ban comes in, (which surely it will)
American Airlines cancel its flights to America for a few months while they rejig capacity, to be restarted very late 2017
China Southern pull back on Chch routes
Signapore Airlines trimming Wellington flights
Jetstar confirming no expansion of flights within N.Z.
and in the meantime AIR announcing expanded frequency to South America and Houston using all new Dreamliners with more business and premium economy seats to meet strong demand for premium services...have I missed anything else ?
