Here's a scenario,

All night landings & t/os are banned across Europe.
The airports that are already bursting at the seems during the day will have nowhere to put the extra movements.
What UK airport has room to expand, two runways and a lcal population looking for work.
If you haven't already worked it out, MAN has all these and also has a rail link in place to take the commuters on Mr Branson's puffertrains.

The only downside is another influx of cockneys going on about how much they have just sold their 3 bed semi for and bought half of cheshire with change to spare!!
