DURHAM TEES VALLEY AIRPORT - 5

It's crazy that with all the capacity problems in the south that they dont make more of regional airports . You could have cargo traffic shifted to smaller regional airports , freeing slots at places like east midlands.
In turn traffic from southeastern airports can shift there etc etc . I'm not sure exactly where DTV is in terms of decent road n rail links but why they haven't made more of it is madness .
Ditto HUY that has two destinations only mainly yet survives ok .
And before I get shot down for suggesting this idea , look at the thread on Leylstad . The Netherlands government wants to shift some flights there to free up Schipol .
