Brexit is a fig leaf that can be used to cover up pretty much anything. Would the carrier be halting the service if it had been a runaway success?
All-business-class carrier La Compagnie has pointed the finger at Brexit for its decision to suspend its London-New York service.
The carrier will continue to fly from Paris where it will add a second daily transatlantic flight but will cease operations from London on Sunday 25 September.
La Compagnie's launch in July 2014 raised eyebrows across the industry because of the number of airlines which had tried and failed to make a go of business-class-only services.
