This discussion is very narrow minded. Teesside Airport has a big advantage over its main rivals, Newcastle and Leeds, namely Chobham. FRA and FPL provide the core business at Teesside. This gives Teesside a head start over its rivals. However, Peel don't want a successful airport. All they want is the land. Peel were supposed to invest £20m, where is it? The road improvements came from One North East, not Peel. All Peel want is the land. They will close the airport as soon as they can. My feelings are for those who work at the airport.
