Eva Air reducing flights ex LHR

[Brown1950]

Covering period 17th April -24th June Eva Air will reduce flights ex LHR to 5 a week

[chatkeow]

Are they still in the "cancel flight mode" as has been reported widely over last couple years ??

[Evil Penevil]

Airlines have responded to a decreasing number of passengers by reducing the number of flights rather than ticket prices. They are trying to balance supply with demand while maintaining profit margins at a reasonable level. High fuel and airport costs are a big factor in cutting back on flights.

It must be a seasonal thing, whenever I fly with Eva the aircraft is normally 90%+ full, but I do fly November to February. I suppose it is a quiet time from now until the main summer holidays.

Looks like Monday and Wednesday, went to Eva and put some dates in, no flights on Monday or Wednesday from LHR to BKK and same on return.

No flights appear to show on Tuesdays & Thursdays for flights from Bangkok

You should probably be sure about that.

I don't think that is correct. I was due to fly LHR to BKK on Tuesday 29 May but the flight has been cancelled. I am now on the flight the following day - Wednesday.

I'm sure they'll chop and change to demand, happened to be those days for the dates I entered in April, had a quick look at a week around 16th May and got this

edit: just had a thought could they be cancelling and moving passengers onto other flight? Thai perhaps? Not sure if they have agreement..

The EVA website has information up to 24 June. The days on which there are no flights are:

 

Mon 30 Apr

Wed 2 May

Wed 9 May

Mon 14 May

Wed 16 May

Thurs 24 May

Mon 28 May

Tues 29 May

Thurs 31 May

Tues 5 Jun

I'm now dreading flying on 30 May with no flights on the 28th, 29th and 31st.

Could this have anything to do with them joining " Star Alliance" (see other thread) I wonder ?

[Anfield]

e-bookers have just e-mailed me to say my flight back to LHR on the 5/9/12 has been cancelled as they have been informed by the airline that there has been a change to my flight(s) due to an operational schedule change the airline has made to their planned flight timings and I have been given 3 options re my booking.

 

Come back on the 6th . cancel booking with full refund or change the date of travel up to 2 weeks from my original date of departure.

Eva Air will continue reduction of flights ex LHR for period 1st July-27th Oct to 6 flights weekly.

So when your flight gets cancelled, at least you can sleep it off.

If they offered non-stop from Manchester, I would!

Air carrier have addressed a decreasing number of travelers by decreasing the variety of routes rather than admission prices.
