From Northern Echo 31/12/08:
BUDGET airline flyglobespan will decide next month whether to continue services from Durham Tees Valley Airport (DTVA). The company’s chief executive, Rick Green, said a review of its operations would be completed early in the new year.
But Mr Green could not guarantee that the airline would continue operating from DTVA beyond the new year.
He said: “Under normal circumstances, we would have the summer’s itinerary finalised by now. The reason we are still deciding it is that the plane flying from Durham Tees Valley reaches its end of lease life in February.
The situation is under ongoing review and we will conclude our findings by January 10. Then we will decide either we can source an alternative aircraft or we can’t.”
Over the summer, flyglobespan denied rumours it was considering pulling out of DTVA.
And in October, the airport said it was “very close” to finalising an agreement with the airline for next year’s itinerary.
