Yes, but many rumours abound about the future of that service for the same reason. Indeed, this one looks much less viable, to the point that BMI have downgraded it to 3 per day (it was 5 at the peak), most of which are operated by ERJ's. It might look more viable with no NCL-LHR route, but it seems probable that BMI will want the slots for transatlantic services.
