Im actually getting really 'peeled' off at this...
Peel don't want to keep the community, they want money. It's always been the case, and without some kind of justification im not happy with it. DTV has the potential, but Peel make out as if it's not their fault when it is. They could do so much more. They could lower landing fees etc for trial periods, offer Northern Rail incentives to match these trial planes, and of course could do a large marketing campaign across Teesside - there's plenty of billboards, city-centre TVs etc, but obviously this airport doesn't appeal.
If this airport falls, its because of peel, no-one else.
