the new Chairman of Durham Tees Valley Airport...was Chairman of Durham Tees Valley from 2003 to 2009
Pardon my ignorance but wasn't the airport already in a parlous state in 2009? Can we expect anything new from this guy? It seems his claim to being a "leading northern businessman" comes from his position as a Peel place-man for 26 years. Seems to me it's a case of Peel trying the "parachute someone in with no local baggage" strategy (the Vancouver people), then when that failed, "let's try the same tired old faces".
