If DTV had managed to bring in a low cost airline.to set up a base maybe they wouldn't be in this predicament who knows
Would you not say that heading down the route of attracting WW, and later Globespan to base at MME was a mistake?
The fundamental difference between MME and its competitors is that MME serves a small market, and the two airlines mentioned struggled to make the operation work. It appeared at the time that Peels' business model was to increase footfall considerably by attracting low-cost airlines using 737 aircraft, but it has been proven unsustainable from MME IMO. It also seems to be difficult for MME to attract new business due to potential operators already having significant operations at both LBA and NCL.
What I'm trying to say is, does MME offer anything to the Teesside passenger that NCL or LBA cannot?
