I presume there is sort of a market for YYZ as it seems Air India didn't have any issues making the BHX-YYZ leg work. Air Transat operate an A330 on a few occasions so those flights must be getting filled (though I don't see why they wouldn't do it year round, maybe Air Canada could provide that)."
AI are not on the route now, so there must have been some issues!

If an indian carrier was to return, which one would you hope it'd be? I'm not holding my breath for Air India, especially considering what has happened recently with them having to go back to square one. Jet Airways is a possiblity, and possibly Kingfisher."
AFAIK, IT have suspended all overseas flights and now just doing domestic. They appear to be in deep trouble. AI are also in trouble and won't be returning anytime soon. As for 9W, think it's very doubtful they'll be on the route.
