Operating or not, DL's website only shows 7 with 1 mandatory connection (ICN-MNL).
FWIW - DL, sooner or later, will become another AA, which eventually, UA will become the sole U.S. airlines serving Asia.

This is not exactly related the route termination. Specifically, DL's 777s were not that old in term of retirement, given that the world's first ever 777 is still in service by UA. Fleet retirement may be incidental to the route termination. But definitely, it is the route driving the retirement, not the another way around.
