It is a catch 22 situation for the airport. It needs to grow and Ryanair do seem willing to do that and add new routes and seem to be slowly testing the South Wales market. I wouldn't be surprised if theycontinue to add more. Lanzarote would be a good one but i think may depend on whether they keep their canary island bases. Hopefully they'll look at extending more routes into the winter to test year round demand.
