AirAsiaX has 475 A320's, 51 A330's and 10 A350XWB's either on order or flying. Possibly, quite a few XAX's heading for EGSS from various Asian countries. I don't suppose they would be linking in to the, as yet unannounced, RyanairX transatlantic network would they?

Of course there's no link between Ryanair and AirAsia. Or is there?

So, 40 - 50 a/c required for a low-cost transatlantic operation. Presumably linking to a 40 - 50 a/c low-cost Asian operation. Mmm, I think a second runway may be going to be needed somewhere, pretty soon. But that's for another rumour!
