In the early days of Nissan..all, Or most cargo flights operated through Newcastle ..I’m sure it was something to do with how much the local authorities were subsidising the airport.
I notice now all..or most cargo flights for Nissan appear to be operating through Teesside.

Is there a reason for this? I know the airport (Teesside) has invested a large amount of money in the freight handling side of the airport and Newcastle seem to concentrate on the Passengers.. But are the local councils ok with that?

Bit like the Saudis buying up all the players from the premier league and helping other teams develop rather than Newcastle 😀😀 !
