Hermes Aviation (Malta International) will axe its 4 week-old Palermo International to Turin Caselle service from January 12 while its Comiso to Malta International and Turin frequencies will be reduced by half the ItaliaVola flight blog reports.

Operated under the Fly Hermes banner, the routes have been hit by the post-Christmas lull in demand.

Hermes operates the routes with its single B737-400 9H-HER (msn 24901).
