MH stellt den Anflug von Zürich zum 31.01.08 ein.
Nach SAA, JAL schon die dritte Airline in kurzer Zeit, die langjährig Zürich bedient und die Flüge einstellt. Das ist wohl auch ein wenig wegen der Star Alliance Zugehörigkeit.
Es bleiben noch KE, TG und SQ in Zürich. CX, JJ haben ja schon vor Jahren eingstellt.
schade für ZRH, aber auch Carrier aus Asien müssen mit spitzer Feder rechnen...
