Gulf War Casulties?
Has anyone heard any likely longhaul route cancellations in the near future if the war on Iraq commences, which is looking more and more likely by the day?
Surely Gulf flights will be cut back, but will there be the drop in transatlantic flights we saw after 9/11?
For example, I see that bmi are supposed to be re-commencing MAN-IAD this June after SAA return their A330 aircraft, but could this be an example of a change of direction? Where else could they, or others, fly though that would be considered 'safe'?

Flights schedualed to land at SDA/ORBS will almost certainly be reschedualed and probably cancelled, although US and British planes are planning to increase overflights drastically for the foreseable future!
