Maybe not overall but it seems quite certain to happen on LON routes if ABZ can't reach 500k. On 2019 peaks, INV will have 3 daily to LHR, 3 daily to LGW, 2 daily to LTN. If you multiply the 2017 INV-LHR figures by 2.3 (the relative 2017-19 capacity increase), you get around 180k. Add 270k and 140k for LGW and LTN, you will get around 590K pax on INV-LON. This could very well surpass ABZ-LON.
