We can add this to the list
Former US - Russia Routes (RIP), now discontinued
AA ORD-DME
UA IAD-DME
SQ IAH-DME
DL ATL-SVO
UN JFK/LAX/MIA-DME/VKO
SU IAD-SVO ( this was once a week, then dropped)
The carriers will be back when demand comes back. EK's A380 is back at DME, which means there is demand, just not to the US.
I just hope SU doesn't raise prices.
There is plenty of completion, via connections unfortunately. Fares on Star and Sky carriers still seem attractive, but with a stop, inconvenient.
