Routes Being Discontinued
No full route discontinuations were announced in the past 24 hours. The closest items were capacity trims: Air China extended its Europe frequency reductions (including Beijing Daxing–Frankfurt and Beijing Daxing–Milan) into the first quarter of 2027, and Etihad dropped planned August 2027 frequency increases to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Munich. All of those routes keep operating.
