No, Wings Of Bornholm is going to be totally closed down and Norwegian will only have one daily rotation, 4 times a week, starting from the 2nd of May.
The reason for the closing, is because of to tuff competition and lack of money.

You got a point!
Oh ****! I really prefer to fly from Bornholm to Copenhagen rather than sailing from Rønne to Ystad and then driving bus from Ystad to Copenhagen! (35 minutes vs. 2 h. 30 min.)

Not particularly useful! It's sort of the dilemma with low cost carriers. People want the low fares, but they also want frequencies that meet the actual need for connecting the region to the destination here being the capital.

Probably DY had a spare aircraft on ground for some time at CPH, which can fill into the gap to serve a CPH-RNN rotation and make some money at these moments.

Did Wings Of Bornholm go bust because Norwegian cancelled the contract with them, or did they cancel the contract because they went bust? It would be a shame if it was the former.

No, Wings Of Bornholm didn't have the money to operate with low-fare tickets (the cheapest costed 25,53€/34,68$) and because "there were to high amount of seats on the route" (This means because of Cimber Sterling).
Wings Of Bornholm just operated the Bornholm - Copenhagen - Bornholm route.
They had also planned to fly the Bornholm - Ronneby (Sweden) - Bornholm route, in co-operation with blekingeflyg.se, but because of low sales-numbers, it was even planned to cancel the route anyway.
