Phew! and we all thought Brexit was hard going!

Agree with previous posts...fair review,long and complicated..good sound bites,lots of assumptions and fingers crossed.

LCC...possible..maybe a foreign one(see Brexit)...no cargo from these guys though!
Cobhams..major threat..£2 million income possibly on the line!
Staffing and Infrastucture..big investment will be needed over next 10 years

current and future losses..who is going to cover those?

I still maintain..split use airport is best way.

Some aviation,Some housing,some logistics..is the only way to keep the airport open long term.

Its such an uncertain time in the UK at the moment.The Major has been given a defined pot of money to spend in the general Tees Valley area..can’t help but thinking money would be better spent reviving the whole area as opposed to a massive outlay on a potential vibrant tourist airport?
We have those already and DTV currently does ok with connections via AMS as we are told!
