Where do you get 60% lost, I make it about 45% and that includes an airline
that only does London and airline that no longer does long haul whch accounts for about 60% of what we have lost, of the others lost most are returning and we stand to gain some services next year.
Outside London Manchester probably has more services to US than the rest of the UK put together.
Heathrow has ridden the recession better than most in the UK due I guess to it`s position but the recession has hit the UK/US market very hard for several reasons
1, the banking collapse 2.the strength of the Dollar against pound 3. lack of money for holiday makers(double wammy with No2 factored in)
American Airlines and Delta have hurt very much over the last year or so and have cut back many routes not just from the UK but all over Europe
