Jorvik is right..airports make their money with foot fall through the terminal..car parking,duty free,spas! etc. Therefore there is a massive financial burden on those 94 departing passengers !
Remind me how long the business plan envisaged making a loss for?
Draken may be fixed price contract. But Falcon operations are increasing significantly and expansion of operations with Aggressor unit. So with increased operations there will be significant increase in fuel requirements etc
Then you have the other flight companies based at the airport, such as Medical, Callibration and Flight Training/ Pleasure. Then there is Private General Aviation planes. Teesside also sees a really significant amount of business jet usage that has been increasing over the past few years.
Teesside has more non passenger activities than many other airports. Thus Movements does become a significant barometer of performance, especially the covid restrictions.
