Flights make more money with cargo on the flight. As long as the flights go with at least 70% passengers and the same for cargo then that is deemed a profitable flight.
However I do have my doubts they will achieve this 5 times a week and you are quite right to say three flights a week would have been a lot better.
On second thoughts maybe they could fill these planes 5 times a week
When KLM use to be around £500 return i used them a lot and their planes were normally full

Anything non stop from LHR is great anyway
