Well said ncleflights.

Alot of people in dream land catching up on this thread.

You've all discussed that the airport requires large amounts of investment to bring the current infrastructure up to standard. The airport is for sale as it obviously doesn't make any money.

With Newcastle to the north and Leeds to the south an hour in either direction it clearly is no longer a viable business in the current economic climate. Airlines are not willing to take risks anymore. With Passenger numbers at an all time low the futures looking bleak.

Being from Newcastle I'm clearly biased but you dont have to be from the north to draw that conclusion on DTV.
