Thirty years ago people were having the same discussion about the future of Tees-side Airport. The conclusion being that despite best efforts the airport was constrained by too many stakeholders with the County boundary running through the airport.
As long as there are hidden faces with hidden agendas voting on someone elses business it will be the same in thirty years time!
Great Airport, Great People, and Great part of the World.
I learnt to fly there and it's a shame it hasn't really moved on.
