Just to clear a couple of things up once and for all, I've had it confirmed by a couple of sources that:
# The Lourdes passengers were definitely not charged the £6 PFF
# The south side land belongs to the airport and not some other Peel division
Furthermore, from what I've seen and heard since the takeover, Peel no longer have a hidden agenda of any kind and money is being invested behind the scenes.
I know this will be too much for certain black-and-white-tinted spectacles-wearing folks who are probably just scared of the prospect of a little competition to believe, but trust me, effort is now being made - serious effort.
If I was to make a controversial comment, I'd say I hope the damage caused by the previous regime is not permanent, but again, from what I've seen and heard, there is more than enough opportunity to (in the long term) build a very nice little operation and I can assure you Durham Tees Valley Airport ain't going nowhere.
