SOU is a worry if the worst happens, as the 737-800 cannot suitably operate from there both economically and operationally (not as yet,
if ever)
The A319/A320 is OK - that leaves EZY as a contender if they so should wish to venture there.
Their winter only GVA does rather well for the Skiers, but tis seasonal, weekends except Xmas/NY and half-term Hols when they do more flights per week.
SOU has a superb rail link and the check-in desks are less than 5 mins walk from the trains.
