Hi Everyone,

After an unforgivable absence, I was going to start up the flying regime with Delta by doing a flight I've wanted to do for some time...DVA088 Kennefy-Kiyv.....only to find that it is no longer there! I thought that maybe real life Delta had stopped flying it and that was the reason, but I noticed that the return 089 sector is still in the database, so can anyone shed some light on this???

Perhaps that flight takes place on another day? Next time save it as a flight assignment so you'll be able fly it when it's not on the list.

Andrew, to answer your question, the JFK-Keiv-JFK run is not operated daily; it's only run on 3 or 4 days out of the week. The reason why you only saw flight 89 was because flight 88 already operated and only the return will show in the system. Keep in mind the schedule @ DVA is now updated daily automatically so this does in fact affect those flights that Delta does not operate on daily basis.
