Not the airline routes at all - natural demand and competition will decide weather routes work or not. Get rid of the unsustainable deals and making the public pay to private companies for routes that have no chance of being sustainable (after 3 years is up).
With skies becoming ever more crowded it would be to everyone's benefit to have fewer more strategically placed airports that can work more efficiently. Put them in the right place and make them more efficient and better connected by road and rail.
Yes we need to thin down what we have and make what we have better.
