Just had a quick glance over the finalised master plan, the only thing of note seems to be TNT have been removed.
Anyone know why we're getting lots of Saabs on the Aberdeen route lately? Eastern short of Jetstreams or have we been upgraded?

"If they can do it why won't Peel do this just down the road? The pax are obviously wanting to fly.
I wouldn't be surprised if half of those 50,000 pax came from the Teesside area and had to drive 50 miles up the road.
50,000 people to fly out of Newcastle Airport over Easter | Tyne Tees - ITV News"
Err, population Teesside circa 376k.
Population T&W - circa 1.1m, Northumberland (mostly just n of T&W) circa 311k, County Durham (mostly just s of T&W) circa 513k, makes circa 1.924m.
I think your estimate may be a little out, or are you seriously suggesting that the inghabitants of Teesside are 6 times more likely to have flown this weekend than the rest of the region ?

Hipennine - don't let facts get in the way of a good rant...
Also from the NIA press release
so not yet completed
not just the airport's investment, but retailers etc
The old "build it and they will come" approach? NCL can do it because they have a solid business stream to base the investment upon - for DTVA it would be a speculative investment in the hope (and contrary to previous experience) that it could attract additional business (and more likely chucking good money after bad)
Also from the NIA press release
The first phase of the development is now complete, with The Beer House, Flying Hippo, and Aspire Lounge open for passengers from April 2014. The next major phase will begin in autumn 2014, with most work expected to be completed by May 2015.
Alongside our business partners, we’re investing a total of £14 million to ensure customers have the best possible journey through the airport.
If they can do it why won't Peel do this just down the road? The pax are obviously wanting to fly.
The debt was reduced to £178m when Copenhagen sold to AMP - anyway, many business have debt and if borrowings are being used to expand the business and increase income and profit, and so long as you can afford to repay it shouldn't be a problem.
I've added details on the Newcastle thread.

2011 3 tonnes

A bit of a stuck record, just more of the same "put on the flights and the passengers will come" and "we don't even have a flight to London" I hate to say it guys but you're fighting a lost cause with this one.

Sycamore/Channel 4
Did anyone see the Kevin Mcleod documentary on C4 last night?
It was all about upcycling old aeroplanes and making new and useful products out of components which would oridinarily have gone to landfil.
The relevance to this thread is that the documentary was set at MME with the aircraft used being one of the AF A320s which came into Sycamore. Interesting stuff and worth a watch on 4OD if you haven't seen it.
Also of note was how the show was introduced as "welcome to Teesside Airport....."

P330:
Not showing on the schedule on the DDA website - only UK trip is to Luton for the Duxford display in June. Do you have any more details? I'd come to MME for this.

KLM may be sending their historic DC3 to MME in June

While on a KLM flight recently the attendants were chatting about a passenger who had written a review about his KLM DTV experience.
FLIGHT REVIEW; KLM FROM DURHAM TEES VALLEY TO COLOGNE « travelswithanthony
Piece of the DTV KLM review;
Though overall a relatively short journey, this one could so easily have gone wrong. Flying from Durham Tees Valley to Cologne via Amsterdam Schipol, allowed me only forty minutes’ transit between the two flights. And yes, I was a bit concerned about my luggage.
It’s incredibly sad to watch the continual downward spiral of Durham Tees Valley, a spiffy little airport that deserves so much better. It has sensational ease of access, and is truly human in scale. I arrived at four in the morning and, for a long time, my only company was the tumbleweed flitting through the lounge. And, while check in and processing was friendly and efficient, I was still charged the infamous, £6 fee to depart from the airport-something I’ve never encountered anywhere before. Really? I mean, I know Middlesbrough is no photogenic beauty, but charging people to leave it is not an ultimate winner, guys.
The flights; both of these were on the seventy seat, Fokker 70 planes that KLM use on their city hopper routes. At DTV, we simply walked out onto the tarmac and up the short, retractable flight of steps. It really was as easy as that.

DC3
A minor update on the DC3. Still looking like Thursday 26th June; further details to follow. The flight or flights are being billed as "scenic" but not sure whether they will be publicly available, invite only or a combination of the two. It would appear that some of the seats will be via official invite from KLM.

After some hard campaigning by the airport, FoDTVA and other interested parties, we're going to get "at least" a fly-past from the Canadian "Mynarski" Avro Lancaster that is due to visit the UK in August!
