UK Gov is not planning to enforce ownership requirements - It would cause massive problems for BA and Virgin (remember that they are mostly owned by Delta & AirfranceKLM)

Neither will British Airways which is owned by IAG. After all, IAG is also not majority UK owned. British Airways holds a minority stake in IAG, the total of Iberia, Aer Lingus and Vueling together is bigger than British Airways.

Having both an EU and UK airline means that after Brexit, Ryanair would then retain their current flexibility around which aircraft gets used on a flight - particularly when due to delays or technical issues the planned aircraft has to be swapped at the last minute. That commonality / flexibility has worked wonders over the years for Southwest and Ryanair

So post-Brexit Ryanair UK will be able to sub-in EI- and SP- reg mainline Ryanair aircraft, but mainline won't be able to easily lease G- regs. So the Ryanair UK fleet will probably remain as small as possible.
