DURHAM TEES VALLEY AIRPORT - 5
Paarmo the Yawn was directed at the continuous you should fly from Newcastle calls and negative post. You must admit its getting boring.
And helicopters don't you have to operate training flights from a licenced airfield, might be reason for the office.

Rumours abound that AMS will be gone by the Winter schedules, releasing capacity for KL to start service to BOH.......
It's a bit parochial to assume that capacity would be transferred from one UK airport to another UK airport.

The loss of the KLM would signal the end of MME as a commercial operation for sure but please let's not get carried away as the long protracted bmi pull out had such a detrimental effect on bookings and confidence that we could be in danger of creating a self fulfilling prophecy.
MME management would be wise to seek a sound bite from KLM management saying they had confidence in the airport ASAP (presuming they do of course)

Helicopter movements
Interseting that this is a move by weston? surely the landing fees have to be paid by someone..so are you saying weston are absorbing the cost?? could be an expensive experiment by them..hope they have the finances and dtv dont drag the only airport bright light down? anyone know how much traffic/revenue it has raised in the first 2 weeks?

The KLM timetable changes could mean absolutely nothing, but given what we've been through over the last five years, look me in the eye & tell me there's not serious cause for concern over the future of KLM at DTVA.

The fight back begins (?)
At last someone is getting off their keyboards and actually trying to do something. Airport campaign launched (From The Northern Echo)
(What exactly is a flash mob and do I have to wear a mac? )

That's pathetic, it's more to do with the train station than the airport. I fully agree with the principle but there's better ways to go about it than that.

The helicopter incentive is a joint Airport and Weston Aviation venture.
With other airports in the vicinity offering similar deals, the idea is to encourage helicopter traffic to DTVA.
Remember 1% of 100 is better then 0% of 1,000,000.

NS
Once the flash mob get off the train it is a long way to the terminal unless they plan to get past the gate that divides the direct route from the station.
Was the plan to move the station scrapped along with the new trains?

While the only actual helicopter company involved is openly broadcasting its intention to operate off-airport in order to avoid "hassle"?
They could have occupied offices elsewhere, instead decided that DTVA offered the right location at the right price. Simples!!!

DTV helicopter incentive
thanks for the update on reasons/etc... the sad bug..r that I am has checked back over the first 2 weeks of this DTV incentive to see how it is going.
And the answers are ..in reverse order..
A grand total of 4 helicopter movements since the 1st of the month.Two of those on the same day were medical flights..who probably dont pay anything anyway??
me thinks yet another great vas/peel and now weston idea!!
not sure what this is doing for our reputation and balance sheet?
