Maybe this MP is being sensible.Why does the North East need 2 airports? You cannot use the train to get to the airport,I was told that using the bus is not much of an option either So its a car or taxi journey to travel to the airport.There is less choice each year to where you can fly to, and the footfall through the terminal is decreasing each year also.Whats the point of having an airport if no one is using it.Once the people from Teesside get used to the idea that flying from Newcastle,Leeds, Manchester or even East Midlands Airport is the only way to reach their holiday destinations,then there is no longer a need for Teesside Airport.The CAA passenger statistics don't lie,the call to scrap passenger flights could be sooner than you think.
