Mr Hough
Seven or eight years ago they were handling 120*-seat aircraft. Aircraft have grown bigger in recent years and puts pressure therefore on the smaller airports.

So thats it ! That's what we have all missed for so long, tour operators introduced larger aircraft onto previously successful routes & as such they failed !???
Perhaps someone would care to enlarge sic on this moot point. To me it simply doesn't make sense.
What it does reflect is a statement of no confidence in the Teesside public, then what follows is a negativity or unwillingness to promote routes.

What is interesting is that if at the end of 5 years from the earlier agreement date, then things are not to Peel's satisfaction,or whatever they may be, then potentially it's curtains !
