CO pulling out of Athens?
 
I didn`t see this anywhere so I`ll ask here. When I put in a flight search to go to Athens next Fall, I receive a message that CO will not service ATH after September 7. Is this a permanent move or does CO only service ATH in the Spring/Summer?

I think athens was seasonal service.

There was not enough cargo to justify year round service.

Season: May 1 start, to apparently Sept 7.
Great fares.

EWR-ATH started in summer 2007. It operated during the winter of 2008 (i.e. late 07-early 08), though I think not daily. I believe it was 4-5x weekly.

Then for winter 2009 (late 08-early 09), it is not operating. And the service is billed as seasonal.

There is not enough passengers to keep it year round. It was originally supposed to be completely cut and then they decided to put it seasonal.

But note that when it was just a 762 when it was started in 2007. Last summer and this summer, it's flown with a 764.
