The problem is you don't get poachers if there is nothing fat and juicy to steal. It seems that Teeside has only two real scheduled destinations, one of which is oil related and the oil boom is long gone. If there is a good catchment area with commercial demand then the airlines will come, however a bit like Manston, if there is insufficient demand they won't. Business is business.
