I want to support the airport as it would be a major blow to the Teesside business community if we were to lose it. The connections via AMS work well for the destinations that I generally fly to and it is so convenient to get a taxi from home at 5am, arrive at the airport at 5:15 and fly just after 6.
Anyway, I have two overseas business trips booked in for January and will probably do another 15 or so trips from MME in 2017.
