I haven't found a general site that just lets you search which airlines fly particular routes. They all try to sell you tickets. Best strategy is to look on the outgoing or destination airport site and search by destination. But you can try:
destinationfinder.com, general portal (*22 Aug 2011)
Airtimetable general portal (22 Aug 2011)
flight stats, track any flight (*22 Aug 2011)
Yahoo! airlines (*22 Aug 2011)
- UK based
British Airways UK and internationally (*17 Jun 2006)
bmi (British Midland) UK and international – once you have been to a national site, www.bmi.com returns you there automatically (17 Jun 2006)
