North America to discontinue services to Lagos and Accra

North American Airlines has declared its intention to discontinue service to Lagos and Accra as from May 2008 due to rising cost of fuel.However,i think it has to do with the entry of delta into the market?

Seems to me like the competition is getting stiffer with the locals set to do the same routes?
Well, may the best man win!

Yeah its a typical bussiness decision,the holidays are over,load factor has dropped;of course they need a reason to stop thier services meanwhile, when the price of fuel reduces from sept08 they will resume operations,in the low season they can allow Delta that is obviously better consolidated and which provide better and more reliable services to run the route as non of our supposed competion will ever rival Delta given thier penchant of continous unreliability on the local routes,I will be quite suprised if they can do any better,We continue to siddon look,LJT........Good to see that youre still kicking fine all the best.....c u soon,

North American is actually canceling all "scheduled" flights (including Georgetown) to focus on charter flights. Delta has moved their NYC - LOS start date to Dec '08 so if that were the reason they could have hung around a little longer.

They are two different airlines, two different certificates, two different business models, two differnt companies all together.
