Is the airport finally getting rid of those portacabins??????????
Like Doncaster Finningley vs Leeds or Manchester, Teesside will never, no matter what they do be able to compete with the likes of Newcastle International (a propper airport)
It does not matter how long the runway is or what they call it (Newcastle Durham International er or whatever). The airport needs to follow a different route to achieve anything. ie. forget the passengers, consentrate on a CARGO ONLY hub.
You may not agree, but BMI Baby have proved this by the number of flights they have (NOT) operated. Newcastle have had several based EASYJET aircraft, Leeds have six JET2 based this summer. This just shows BMI Baby don't have a lot of faith in Teesside and they're using it because it looks good on paper.
