No real MYT flights no, all sub-contracted out, possibly the CFU or TFS might be a MYT but I very much doubt it
Air Europa will be back this summer, starting in a few weeks for Goldtrail, I believe from/to Tenerife. It will arrive at 0150 and depart at 0250 on Friday mornings. The 3rd Onur flight will also start very soon, arriving at 0830 and departing at 0930 on Thursday mornings for Holidays4u (to Dalaman)

It looks like the rumours of Flyglobespan are true, on their website they are basing at TFS and are launching a winter 06 route to DTV (or Teeside as they have it!)
Departs TFS 09:30 Arr MME 14:15
Departs MME 15:00 Arr TFS 19:45
Weekly on Tuesdays from Nov through to March!
An unexpected (but welcome ) turn up for the books if it goes ahead

Certainly good news as that adds another weekly flight over the winter Obviously they're wanting to get in there before Jet2 do. Thought this would come eventually as 'Durham Tees' (as they now have it) is one of their training bases that they visit with every aircraft!

As much as I like Flyglobespan, I'd prefer to see Jet2 at MME, simply because Jet2 are trying to establish themselves as no.1 northern airline, whereas Flyglobespan are focusing on becoming Scotlands flag carrier. In other words, MME fits Jet2's business model better than Flyglobespans.

Do you think this will put Jet2 off, i would have thought Jet2 being at Leeds and NCL wouldnt come into DTV aswell but if they want to be the Norths No 1 its the last one left!. Anyone know what a/c might be used on Globespan route and could this be the start of more ......or even a based aircraft?

From the rumours flying around at the moment it looks like the Globespan base in TFS will get a B738W and therefore this would be the aircraft used on the DTV route

Good to see the 747 in again this morning.
With regards to Globespan the press release on the airport website hints at more routes to be served if the TFS works out.
DTVAirport i don't think Jet2 would come to MME. Due to their presence at LBA and NCL, but we can hope. Globespan on the other hand are here now and should be supported and hopefully they will start new routes.

Lets just say I'll believe it when I see it!
Anyone know anything about an incident regarding a pushback tug earlier today (Thu 06/07)
Also, the 'Delta' taxiway was flooded for a little while after what was a small downpour Not very good!

Not a chance of getting EWR, especially if Newcastle get a New York flight, whether that be before or after Teesside gets one, the route is already dead in the water.
On a separate note hows the load factors on the Dublin route? Hell of a jump from a 732 to a 738!

Definitely go for it! But I can't see it happening. What were the load factors on the old MyTravel Florida route like? From that we may be able to work out what the load factors on a New York route would be?
Is there any particular reason the Dublin load factors are dropping every month?

I wouldnt look at the MYT Florida figures as a guide, that was a while back and a split load, lot changed since then. Would be great to see the expressions on the management at NCL and LBA if MME got there first! wonder how red their faces would be?

Anyone know how the new front is coming on? Should be complete around now
Also it was good to see Excel back yet again with the B747-300. It parked on Stand 1 again, seemingly the only widebody stand (don't need more than 1 usually )
And how is the work over the southside going? Much happening over there at the moment?

I would do a lot of things to be the one to tell them first about MME getting a New York route!
