All I want for Christmas is...

From nebusiness.co.uk:

"HUGH LANG Durham Tees Valley Airport managing director -Tees Valley’s air links into Heathrow safeguarded. A rise in landing charges at Heathrow from April could jeopardise Tees Valley’s growing number of services and undermine its plans for a new terminal. Although Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly, in announcing the plans for a third runway at Heathrow, stressed the importance of regional links, their future is by no means assured. MPs, local authorities and business organisations have joined the airport in campaigning for measures to prevent regional services vanishing before the new runway is even built. “My biggest wish would be to see the Government recognise that maintaining regional air links into Heathrow airport and the international air transport network is vital in ensuring the economic future of the Tees Valley and the North East as a whole.”
