I also forgot that AZ went down from 4x to nothing. I already mentioned that the rumor is that AF and KL may go up to 2x each again after the new airport is established. Aeroflot going to 5x is something, but does not cover for the other 15 or so flights that are gone.

Regarding 1World. BA has had an identity crisis regarding Turkey as a whole the last several years. I am not even going to get into the electronics ban, which they extended for almost an extra year, because they did not want to pay the extra costs, I am not even talking about their flitting into various Turkish cities for a season or two, and then dropping them, nor the fact that their business product is garbage when compared to TK, and that they do not even give Y passengers water on a mid haul flight (which is what it is according to their own definition), the problem is dependability, I would say that in the last 2-3 months when looking to fly to London 10 times, on 6 of those dates they have been running 1 flight, on the others they have simply cancelled their flights. While once they were a serious carrier at IST, they are now an unreliable carrier, with an unreliable schedule, with an inferior product and have shown utter contempt for their passengers in every possible way. As for RJ, they fly regional jets most of the time, so they mean nothing. As I mentioned above QR will increase frequencies, to what though? 3x? 5x? MH is NOT coming back, forgetting their own problems, TK has flooded the route (one they had contempt for anyway with a technical stop in DXB for many years), IB is NOT coming back, there is almost as much chance of Malev coming back to IST as IB. I have heard that Cathay is actually looking at coming back (you all may recall that CX stopped flying after 9/11, kept their office open for a number of years, but never came back).
