Who, when and where? I've never seen this said anywhere on the forum. I was not at all impressed with FCO getting axed and then not having anyone call me about the axing that's for sure. There's no way that there are only 5 people or even 50 people on that plane, even during the slower weeks of the winter sked. If they cancelled the route because it was unprofitable that's one thing but I suspect that it was cancelled because it simply broke close to even - so they could reinstate SCL and EZE service, for example. If AC is that unreliable to cancel a route with just a few weeks notice, then the customer will choose to go elsewhere for more a more reliable schedule.
