DL has to fly this route (I think for three years?). And it is definitely losing money on it. And it knew it would lose money on it. After that tme requiremnet is fulfilled, look to see it axed and transfered to another U.S. station.

FT is always so helpful. Was going crazy not finding this flight in reservation system and couldnt find any news annoucements about its cancellation in casual google search.
This was my fav flight for Y travel to South and ME Asia. With inexpensive night at LHR hotel through PL and catching morning onward flight, It actually saved losing day of productivity at destination to jet-lag and overall more comfortable travel than F at Y prices (plus 50 quids for hotel). When DL stops its flight, it would be bad for pax as it will allow BA to go back to pretty high fares.
