I think CO has realised the inevitable is just around the corner with the planning application in for the 350 houses.
Once they are up does anyone think night flights will continue?
KLM agree new 'long term agreement' to fly from Durham Tees Valley Airport - Gazette Live
Why kick the airlines out? oh yes its the Peel way or the highway.
Talking of highways whats the betting the south side will become a mini Ingleby Barwick as well. Peel kicked Thomson out, the airline didn't want to go - fact.
Whats the betting KLM will be given no other choice when Peel decide to lock the gates.

The quote from the ex councillor did make me laugh. Who is going to get a grip?? They are all in it for the money. its not what you know, its who you know down at the lodge
Lets face it Darlington council will have already rubber stamped the house building plans. They want the council tax revenue. Peel have their contractors on standby according to some.
Whitaker must be laughing all the way to the bank with the friends of the airport volunteering to do jobs for free, while he counts his millions.
Even the local football premiership team prefer Leeds. Could it be anything to do with the way the airport is run by Peel? Leeds now have over 3m passengers a year. If Peel hadn't been given the airport Teesside could have the same footfall.

Its just a waiting game now.
Teeside Airport was gifted to the private company Peel for a small amount of money, and its about time the company and 6 local councils made the sale contract available to the public, instead of saying its a commercial secret.
As for CO it wouldn't surprise me if he's been silenced by Peel if he works at the airport. They are hoping nobody will discuss whats happening at Teesside Airport.
This graph shows what Peel have done.
