I think given the demand and the few TATL they have from CGN I dont think CO will go anywhere anytime soon...at least I hope.
I hope for the same but I have to say, a lot of people know that the flight to NEW YORK exists. They had so many commercials when the service first started. As I stated before, most Germans were not too happy about their experience on board. It looks like I will use the current service for the first time in July and I will see how I like it. My American friends and own family members who have been on the flight several times before always tell me that it is rather empty. So I am not too sure that it won't get kaput at some point.
DUS has two flights a day to New York as well, 1 x JFK A330 on AB/LT and 1 x EWR A340 (starting today) LH. It's the way stronger airport anyway, CGN is rather boring.
