Germania flew Gatwick-Erfurt and Gatwick-Pristina during winter 2013-2014 and continue to do so for summer 2014. Frequencies are 2 round trips per week on each route with an aircraft of about 150 seats. It seems these 2 routes will not be flown in winter 2014-15

Can anyone confirm whether the routes are being dropped, just going summer seasonal, or will actually be flown over the next winter once scheduling has been sorted out ? If Germania are leaving, will another carrier pick up the slots which are at off-peak times ?

I know these were not exactly the routes with the highest of frequencies and load factors were not exactly brilliant, but it's rarely a good thing for an airport to lose a carrier and a couple of destinations completely and increase dependency on the already dominant carriers, particularly at off peak slot times
