...withdraw these services over the winter months...
Where does it say anything about resuming them?
The wording is clearly ambiguous and allows for either interpretation. Namely that the services have only been withdrawn during the winter months and may return in the summer months or that they have been withdrawn permanently starting in the winter season.
I personally don't see any chance of Venice returning (as passengers wanting to go there can simply travel with BA instead) but see some possibility of perhaps another operator running LHR to PMI, even if it turns out to be Iberia or BA rather than BMI. Although BA recently canned their Gatwick service to PMI that was because it was up against Easyjet's four flights a day and numerous other charter flights from Thomson. LHR to PMI is still a route that can command high fares during the peak summer months and on balance perhaps IB would be the most logical operator to restore service on the route.
