Is BA the only European Airline left going to Australia?

I heard through the grapevine that Olympic Airway will be ceasing service to Australia. KLM, Lufthansa and Alitalia have left. Is British Airways the only European Carrier left on the Europe - Australia route?

That's why Virgin needs to fly there to remedy the situation.

United is the only American carrier left. Continental needs to go back but I wouldn't count on it.

Co Micronesia do fly to CNS, but who would fly via HNL and GUM to get to Australia. My dad had around 50000 onepass miles, and when CO left, offerred to convert them to QF points on a 1:2 basis, which devalued them so much it wasn't worth it. CO did say that they would return in time for the Olympics but it never happened. My brother ended up using the miles to travel to a friends wedding over Thanksgiving weekend last year.
