EMA are reporting January 2024 as a great month for pax numbers PRESS RELEASE

Tui and Jet 2, are each adding an extra based aircraft, meaning the aircraft stands will be at capacity this summer. They quote Steve Griffiths saying "Extra aircraft bringing our stands to capacity also shows airlines’ confidence in EMA and bodes well for the future.”

This quote is slightly confusing. How can the stands being at capacity (assuming he means for overnight based aircraft) bode well for future growth? Unless the strategy is entirely focused on carriers NOT basing more aircraft at EMA and flying to EMA from other bases?
