I think the point being made was that Glasgow offers more capacity, to a wider range of the destinations favoured by the Scottish bucket and spade brigade; of course that may change.
However, having a strong inbound market is not to be sniffed at - after all, if the Scottish economy fell back into recession, or sterling fell in value, then having more than one club in your leisure bag makes very good sense, as the reduction in outbound business may be at least in part be offset by inbound tourists.
