Maybe time the Board looked at their performance? New York, Frankfurt...... Rumours of Toronto being withdrawn?
New York is not going to happen anytime soon and Frankfurt is desirable but has slot limitations according to my mate at Lufthansa.
Would it not help the whole region to concentrate efforts and financing on better surface links from Durham Tees Valley Airport (DTV) catchment areas and expand services at Newcastle, rather than trying to keep DTV in light of recent circumstances. With better and faster Rail links for passengers and freight, Newcastle would have a stronger regional identity, with hopefully more services.
Go and suggest that to those who want DTV kept open and get your tin hat on. In any event, how much better do you want surface links? There is Motorway to the door, Metro link, buses etc, what more do you need?
