I think Ryanair and other LCC's like Wizz are having a change in their business model and are moving away from the ****ty regional airports like Prestwick and shifting towards the more mainstream airports like Glasgow. Passengers no longer want to land one and a half hours away from where they intend going.
Interesting thought. If so - then it would be the natural progression as the newcomer strives to reach the 'top table'. VS started at LGW with one machine and have made a fair old impact of their 28 (or whatever) years.

If the LCCs do gravitate - even partially - then the bottom of the market opens up once again.
