Easy should be made to relinquish the route licence if they aren't operating it.
Aeroflot to LGW is a bonus, but it flies to SVO which is not so good. VKO or DME would have given a little more flexibility.
I personally think EASY was over stretched this summer and took a view to cut this route in advance as there was better bucks to be had elsewhere as opposed to the route being unviable.
