So, TXL-IAD was flown from 25 March 2001 and cancelled on 17 September 2001. However, the article also mentions that the route was not profitable before 11/9/01.

Okay, then I kept wrong information in mind. A friend has been a first officer on the A340 (now a captain on A320 family) and he was on that route a few times. He told me once, they stopped that route short after introduction because it was not profitable. I could swear, it was far before 09/11. But looks like my brain is getting older and older...
