How is the 'little red' product performing?

I was rather intrigued that they decided to enter the domestic market, and have always thought it was something virgin could always crack. I assume GLA is the next route, I was surprised to see ABZ over GLA. Seeing as it was set up in protest for losing the rail franchise, is the future secure now they retained the franchise for few more years.

Assume NCL, BFS and GLA are future markets.


Edit, oh found this quote. Does this mean they can never fly to glasgow,

Speaking yesterday, Mr Branson said that while he was ‘thrilled’ that Virgin had finally been allowed to expand services to Edinburgh and Aberdeen, he was unhappy that they had been prevented from operating out of Glasgow.
‘I would love to be flying to Glasgow as well, but for some bizarre reason the competition authorities, who bequeathed us these slots, didn’t allow us to have the slots to compete with British airways out of Glasgow’, added the millionaire businessman.
Why only glasgow?
