If I was Daddy, I would wait to see what the next couple of months brings?
Security alerts are now reasonably common at UK airports and folk here are quite used to hassle, but IF there are horrible actions relating to the Middle East, the price of oil will magnify and so impact on all airlines cost base, ticket prices WILL rise.
As my Daddy often said, "Be prudent". Folk are using low cost simply as it is so cheap compared to other forms of transport. If this cost increases, so will thier apathy to fly?
Now is not quite the time to announce a new base?
But what do I know, I am a Bear?
