Bit of a kick in the back side for Durham Tees Valley. As the Local Football club has announced a new 2 year partnership with another Airport. http://www.mfc.co.uk/news/article/20...sZkKW6xWugl.99

A kick in the teeth by Middlesbrough FC and a fantastic result for Leeds Bradford Airport who know how to twist the knife into Durham Tees Valley. It will be a sight to see when the local football team are covered in the logos of Leeds Bradford
It is like Luton Town being in partnership with Stansted.

highwide...what do you mean why have Peel allowed this?? It's a private deal between LBA and MFC, therefore they've probably read it in the press like the rest of us? What could they have done??
It is embarrassing though and you can't help but wonder if this is MFC taking revenge over the wind turbine incident a couple of months ago.

Apology to PEEL PR Dept.
Ok...maybe a little harsh blaming peel..but what message does this send out to the average.."boro" punter?
It seems peel do need to give their PR guys a kick up the proverbial and start doing something to promote the airport as a going concern and not just a microlight or parachute centre,not get gazumped by of all paces a second rate airport like LBIA!!

It is unbelievable that DTVA were unaware that MFC we talking to LBA about a deal, but to be honest what do they have to offer against LBA.
It would have been a bit of a poisoned chalice for NCL, given the local rivalries - bit safer for Leeds, this bit did make me giggle
For a Championship club, MFC do fly out of DTVA quite a lot - usually on Eastern - wonder if this deal will have an impact?

Press story
This is what the local Middlesbrough paper has to say about it.
Boro kick off two-year Leeds Bradford Airport deal with exclusive offers for fans - Gazette Live
I wonder if anyone from the club approached Peel and maybe Peel weren't interested like the Thomson saga. Has anyone from the airport commented on this news or is it still being discussed down at the lodge?

Lets get a bit of perspective on this. LBA want to attract holidaymakers living in the Teesside area into using their airport over NCL. MME is not presently a viable option as we are all aware.
At no point does this say that Middlesbrough will be using LBA for their flights and in fact they flew back to MME last night after winning at Watford. If Boro get promotion, it will probably be beneficial for MME with more overseas visitors (mainly foreign media) going to games at the Riverside.

tigertanaka, a number of premiership teams already arrive in the region at DTVA as they prefer the hotels down hear before a game at Sunderland or Newcastle. At one point the Sunderland owner used to fly into DTVA for the Sunderland games.

A lot of the teams that play at Newcastle fly in to us and only get picked up at NCL, we've always done well with football flights.
As tigertanaka suggests, it isn't going to hurt passenger numbers, it's just downright embarrassing.

So much then for local support!
Could this support for LBA be partly due to ongoing dispute with Middlesbrough FC & Wind Turbine?
