Sorry if my post has gone over old ground .
Tbh there are so many pages many of which seem to be arguments Tec.
Hence my post.
Either the airport will close or sooner or later hopefully with new owners it will gain or regain new/old routes.
It is a fact that there is a sizeable populace.
Bear in mind back an Ireland Knock which is in the middle of nowhere is reasonably busy and has a fair selection of routes.
But it's odd how DYV and GUY both have near identical routes and times.
I think one thing people forget and is probably the only positive.
KLM .
A large carrier whereby their link to AMS effectively opens up the world to Teesside through oncoming ticketing or whatever the correct terminology is.
I can imagine the likes of Doncaster and Blackpool would kill to have the prestige of KLM as would many unserved UK airports.
I wonder if indeed KLM will expand to the likes of Doncaster when their Fokker fleet is fully replaced with the larger Embraer 195's.
Ok DSA have Flybe but competition can be a good thing.
But if DTV is to survive Peel must go.
It has potential but despite government ideals of utilising regional airports it's almost dead and buried.
