The demand is all there. The DTW-KIX flights are always full, almost every month I've flown (and I do cover most of the months with my travelling habits). I have a suspicion that with KIX expanding, prices for keeping jets there overnight probably would go up, therefore getting rid of 69/70 probably was in NW/DL's best interest. I wouldn't be surprised however if we see this flight pop up again in the near future or have a MSP-KIX deal happening.
