Police closed a rave at DTV Airport at the weekend.
Was there a Peel £6 entry fee?
Police shut down illegal raves (From The Northern Echo)

In need of repair ?
"it is believed party goers had used social networking sites to make arrangements for the unlicensed gathering in a crumbling building"
Its the first time the truth has been told about the terminal!

Dancing tonight
N7Ozzzz I'll have you know that the hospital ward was bouncing as usual, but the police helicopter made more noise than the party.
The police looked like they were also enjoying the music outside Cleveland Motorhomes from what I could see through the ward bars.

Is it not time we faced reality with regard to Teeside Airport (Darlington/ DTV.... etc...) As a Region we need to support firstly a much improved surface transport link to Newcastle International Airport. O.K.... Controversial to some! .... But in reality the only way the NORTH EAST as a region can attract new routes, expand frequency of existing routes , and promote the North East as a truly viable central business and leisure destination. --- I know there will be the usual defendants of keeping a civilian airport in Teeside .... but a United Region with an emphasis on Newcastle Airport with fast, convenient and comfortable links to Teeside would, I feel, promote more and better frequent air links to ALL..... FOr Goodness sake.... Even the owners (Peel) don't want an Airport!!

And just to cheer you all up, Teesside Airport was the least-used railway station in GB 2011-12 with only 14 passenger exits and entries. (Not surprising because of one day a week service and crap access to airport anyway).
Sleep needed
N707ZS must have been at one of those all night raves!! ??
We have been there many times..venture probably right but nothing will happen in an instance...DTV will continue to die a slow painful lingering death
All threads have been covered a million times and its only the humorous meanderings of all on here that lifts the gloom!

Seems people want the airport to close.
This happened before with railways until that wrongdoer tool the bait and butchered our railnetwork .
Now the folly in his work os clear
All those lines needing reopened communities cut off all by this very narrowinded thinking.
What happened to loyalty to your area and community. All these daft posts about caravans. If you dont like it. Form an action group or hook up with friends of dtv.
This is your local airport part of community. Wheres ur civic pride and desire to see it grow.
That airport is perfectly formed for investment in the future.
Business flights both small private jets to other Klm style ops.
Howabout pushing more training flights.
Air dismantlers.
Training schools.
And try albiet desperate but offfer passengers and airlines a deal where if new routes could be offered the airport will pay the apd not the passanger for the first six ti eight months of operating.
More adverts advertise as far as leeds the north penine towns. Ripon northalerton etc. Harrogate.
Zero landing fees for new airlines locos for a year
Crazy thinking but show tHat your airport could have a real future get the public and managers together in a commite out of the box thinking.
Find a decent deal from a bus operator to bus holiday makers to the aiport to catch flights.
Hit the aereas with s questionnaire as to what key routes they want.
Beh ryanair to start vzero landing fees for a year. But improve the retail inside the airport to raise revenue for thw airport.
Push for routes that northeast airports dont have Copenhagen. Bergen
FRANKFURT.
And an Lhr or Gatwick link.
But we need to push n promote its potential by spreading the word comminity is about sharing so help your airport. Use it or loose it.
And if you dont want it n prefer Newcastle then say so.
Id welcome your klm operating from DSA.

Eh ?
Nice to see the Polish community getting involved in our airport.
Are these questions? aimed at the local people or Peel?
I'm sorry we have been there many times.
BTW Google do a good translation add on.

How come Doncaster can still get 700,000 pax a year and compete against Leeds/Bradford. But DTVA can’t compete against NCL. I just don’t get it. Good news on the Thomson route which I will be using in June 2014. Come on Peel you can do it. Get one airline to base 1 aircraft at the airport and then it may attracted more airlines

Johnnychips mentioned the rail stop, and the Echo have printed a reply from Peel.
Peter Nears says its a matter from the rail company.
Teesside Airport rail station passenger numbers drop - to 14 for an entire year (From The Northern Echo)

The rail stop needs moving nearer to the Oak Tree pub which is on the bus route. This rail line was wrecked by the last big rail sell off, I could go on but I cannot be bothered.

onyxcrowle - you raise many good points and it's a shame there aren't more posts similar to yours because this is the attitude that's needed.
Have a look at the posts coming from those who want to see the airport close, then look at where they've listed their location as. More often than not they're geordies who know that if, in the unlikely event, DTVA was to get the significant investment it deserves and a new dynamic management team, their precious NCL would have a fight on their hands!
I think it's time the moderators had a good clean up of this thread and got rid of all the biased individuals who post pointless criticism just to cause trouble, and keep any posts that contain constructive criticism, which would probably be none.

No....! Chaps - This is not about North of the region v South (Geordies vs. Smoggies!) In fact .... Your response re. "Precious Newcasrtle" is part of the problem. Teeside is at most 50 minutes from NCL ... which could be much improved via reliable comfortable and Fast public transport. Central London to Heathrow via Tube is 50 minutes! - This is where investment should be made... then we can promote the NORTH EAST REGION! (I.E. TWEED to TEES.. as per Lord Adonis' report).. Have you read it?!.... (also posted on Newcastle thread)

Maybe therein lies the problem. Is there really enough demand to support two viable airports so close.
I think VentureGo is suggesting that all efforts should be put into promoting Newcastle as the prime airport in the region, with good links to it from the Teeside area. The decision whether to close/expand an airport remains with the private companies owning them; however how much money is spent on infrastructure etc. is influenced by the local councils etc.
Lord Adonis suggested, incidentally, that better rail services are needed to the North-East. In the case of Newcastle to Manchester, this will happen with electrification. He suggested the link to Middlesbrough should be electrified as this is not part of the current proposals. He also wanted faster rail times from the region in general to London; but this is a long-term ambition as the line is near capacity at the moment.

For the post whos snidey offensive comment about me being polish can retract it with an apology pro to!!!, Im very sorry my typing is quite upto scratch. I tyoe these on an andriod phone and it was latw and I was ovrer tired.
But theres and obvious and distadtefull agenda it seems to bad mouth and seek out even the tiniest negative spin you can dig up re the airport.
Be proud of your community. Fight for your airport. Its part of your locaal economy. If you lost klm business may leave.
Your short sighted lets bash dtv. On a daily basis will only hasten a self forfulling prophecy.
So dont let that happen. Im British and pround if it . Born in leeds NOT poland.
So lets make that clear.
If you want to save dtv and the prospects that the Ams link brings there. If you want others like frankfurt. Do something about it petiton the airport. Nag them to do more destinations show then that theres the demand. Hassle their managers and local government. And be part of camerons big society.
But constantly sniping and putting the place down with pictures of caravans n camp fires can only mske it worse.
That post should be removed lest it finds its way to the press !.
So lets have a bit of decorum and more posts that might help save it!. Or find alternative solutions for its use.
And again to conffirm im white british. Ihave zero time for racism . And if my autocorrect types a few words incorrectly while im half asleep lets refrain from snidey and polish digs and keep this forum from the gutter.
I for one enjoy it.and it like it to stay genial and good place for genuine debate constructive or orherwise. And thanks to those that make all this popular.
