I think the notion that a charter airline would be interested in MME is wishful thinking. Charters and package holidays are not a booming sector and the only British charter airlines interested in flying from the North East are already well-established at Newcastle. Why would they want to increase their costs and effectively compete with themselves by basing an aircraft at MME? A lot of the Spanish airlines that used to fly into MME are no longer in business. I could imagine an extra summer flight or two to an expanding destination like Turkey, but nothing more.
