There has always been room. there's plenty of gaps, im thinking less, what airline is next to come, but rather which is the next to go.

What there's room for (IMO) is an airline offering intercontinental services from airports like Manchester and Glasgow. BA used to have a big hubs out of Manchester and Birmingham but I have no idea what happened to them.

Low cost, short and long haul, focused on the business market.

There is room for another UK airline - but it can't just be the 'same-old-same-old' if it ever wants to break even.
U2 has been the most successful British airline of the last decade, so following their lead is probably the best course of action. Interestingly we don't have long-haul LCC travel here in the UK, I expect FR and U2 are looking anxiously at Norweigan to see how they get on with their £150 OSL-JFK return fares (it will quite easily make them either the richest or poorest airline in Europe depending on the quality of their accounting).
British Airways has seen record profits over the past couple of years, thanks to the growth in premium long-haul travel, so it will be interesting to see whether that could be tapped into by a new carrier. SilverJet never managed it, so all eyes now turn to Skymark when they launch NRT-LHR in 2014.
