Weird isn't it UKLAD?
Excellent road infrastructure to and from the major UK Trunk Road network.Excellent parking and pick up drop off system with the lowest prices in the UK...£30 ish for a fortnight.Decent terminal building. Long runway with good ILS. Excellent weather closure record.Unlimited slots with night operations possible.Large catchment area. No flights.
I know everyone( me included at times ) slags off the management but I don't really see what more we can offer.
Suggestions on a postcard to the Marketing Dept Durham Tees Valley (still referred to by 90% of the world as Teesside) Airport.
As an aside Easyjet have a policy of not even looking at destinations with a train journey of 4 hours or less so I think that the LHR or any other London routes are ruled out as the journey time from Darlington to Kings Cross is 2hrs 25 mins and I would suggest that other airlines have a similar policy unless there are special circumstances.
PS If they organised a park and ride system into Middlesbrough from MME I would use it because it is cheaper to park there rather than Middlesbrough Town Centre. Just a thought.
