Based on what we've heard over the last few months, Liverpool and Stansted should be the ones seeing the growth but I now don't think either will in 2014, but maybe beyond that.

About the Flybe slots at Gatwick, EasyJet will station one aircraft in Inverness as previously said.

Gatwick itself has about 55 based aircraft as it is, which probably allows for a quite a bit of wriggle room in the schedule to add a number of other slot pairs with the existing fleet at Gatwick.

The point I'm basically making is that maybe only a few additional aircraft would actually have to be added to Gatwick to take over all the Flybe slots, if the efficiency of the current aircraft at Gatwick is increased.

With 9 aircraft joining the fleet, there could still be a few left over for potential growth and some other bases.

And there's always the strong possibility that one base may gain aircraft at another's expense, such as Glasgow losing one to Edinburgh for example.
