  1. How can a service be cancelled that was never formally announced or even loaded into GDS systems? Once again, this blog is caught publishing gossip, rather than official information released by the airline.

  2. We posted London months before they went online on GDS. We posted New York several months before they were loaded to GDS. We posted Dammam and Riyadh for 5J days before they were loaded to GDS. Even news reporter visit this blog. You could always find reliable sources elsewhere. But wait, you're here.
