GA in the North East of England

Hi all,

Just wondering why there's a lack of ga / air taxi / private charter in the North East of England? Both Durham Tees Valley (Teesside International) & Newcastle lack in based GA when it comes to a/c above PA34 size compared to other parts of the country.

People say that when it comes to GA the companies will go where the clients want & therefore airports can't control growth in this area, yet when Multiflight built their big hangar at Leeds that airports GA traffic grew practically overnight?

When Northern Aviation were alive their Beech 200 aircraft were in constant demand, surely there's an obvious gap in the market to be filled here?
