Liverpool is set to lose its only air link to London due to poor ticket sales.
Belgian airline VLM is axing its flights between Liverpool John Lennon airport and London City from 1 July.
The company said falling passenger numbers meant the twice daily service was "no longer sustainable".
VLM said it was in negotiations with other airlines which had expressed interest in carrying on the route. Johan Vanneste, managing director of VLM Airlines, said he understood there would be disappointment, and thanked agencies in the city for their support of the service.
But he added: "As an independent company which receives no subsidies, we have to ensure that all of our routes are commercially viable."
