No Flybe / Eastern Airways aircraft is currently based at DTVA. Flights are currently being operated from Humberside to Aberdeen via Durham Tees Valley. The aircraft mostly used is the Saab 2000 but the BAe Jetstream 41 is also part schedule but often gets upgraded for Saab 2000.
Flybe / Eastern Airways timetable is currently showing direct flights returning to the Aberdeen - Humberside route from 12th February 2018.
It also shows a based BAe Jetstream 41 operating from Durham Tees Valley Airport for the Aberdeen route with reduced flights: 3 x Flights Thur, 2 x flights M/T/W/F, 1 x flights Sun, (Sunday will continue to operate via Durham Tees Valley using the Aberdeen - Humberside Saab 2000)
What is interesting is it shows the aircraft arriving back at Durham Tees Valley at 09:25 on Mondays and Wednesdays but no flight until 17:00 Mondays and 17:15 Wednesdays, It's also showing as arriving back on Fridays at 19:45 which means it's based at Durham Tees Valley over the weekend. That mean the Durham Tees Valley Flybe / Eastern Airways crew base will have lot of down time.
Hopefully Flybe / Eastern Airways are planning to add something new to fill up the gaps in they Durham Tees Valley crew base time.
