Sorry this getting silly now. It's over.
Management appears to be saying they can't deal with IT business at a profit, this is a loud,clear and seemingly intentional message to the market signalling that even if you want to come here, we don't really want you. KLM won't lose anything by dropping MME as the exisiting traffic will use KLM at NCL or even LBA.
The exisiting owners have a plan, never mind what they're saying, it's clear what they are doing. Teesside as it is now, isn't commercially viable and couldn't be sold as a going concern for any price Peel would accept. It's the next Coventry, who can honestly see passenger operations much beyond next summer?

Head over heart? This is a painful thread to read as there's no one to help like the Scottish or Welsh governments, though mainly because MME lacks strategic value sadly in a way PIK and CWL do not.
