I'm sure LH are partially to blame but CDG still carried 108,000 in 2012 (down from 118,000 in '11) when they used the E190 in '11 and the E170 for nearly all of 2012.
I know loads may mean little and I can't imagine there is much O&D traffic with r/t tickets at £250-300 minimum so possibly too many connecting pax not really helping the route pay for itself - especially if they're Y class/ leisure pax on cheaper tickets.
I do find it extremely strange that the route has been stagnant for a number of years in terms of growth and they decide to chop it now - why now, why not a year ago?
Maybe the AF/KL group have decided they only need 1 airline at ABZ instead of having them competing against each other - especially since they are bleeding cash right now...
