Based on loads (and I am aware that loads and yields do not equate, but we don't get access to that) the order of priority for the expansion of existing routes would be
1. Bristol
2. Edinburgh
3. Birmingham
4. Manchester
5. Jersey
6. Glasgow
That said, an expansion into Cardiff would probably preclude additional capacity in Bristol.
I could easily imagine that yields on Manchester and Birmingham are higher than Bristol though.
A further unknown in this is what Aer Lingus Regional do in Shannon. If they significantly increased any of those routes from Shannon, it would make them less likely to increase flights to the same destination from Cork.
