MME4eva - management sorted themselves out? I wouldn't go that far!! But I certainly agree with your second paragraph.
I know it's off topic and call me ignorant, but what is Corus and what's happened to them? Presume it's a company gone bust?

Corus is the owner of the steelworks at Redcar which is being mothballed with 1,700 redundancies, which will have a knock-on effect on the whole area.
Very sad situation for all concerned

Since Coventry Airport looks like it is closing, maybe DTV management should start talking to Atlantic Airlines/Air Atlantique immediately. I guess not much is going on in the hangars at DTV and they'd certainly be worth looking at as a new home for Atlantic with the fleet they have.
Two reasonable hangars full of junk, hangar one needs a bit of TLC and hangar five would need a bit of work to connect it back to the airfield.
Loads of room Southside for a brand new one if an investor could ever be found.
Lets hope DTV managment is reeding Pprune today! Would be good to replace some steel jobs.

DTV Future
All this excitement,more chance that Peel will take the opportunity,jump on the bandwaggon and close DTV!!
Its a sad day for the aviation industry,lets just hope the ball is not rolling.
What is the case for keeping DTV open?? The figures are appalling,the route structure is appalling and the management set up is appalling-hasnt got much going for it .
watch this space me thinks ?????

Hi
So dose anyone know what the pax figures are like so far for Eastern Airways MME-LBA-SOU service?
I have heard reports that some of the early morning flights are arriving into LBA from MME with just 2 or 3 pax onboard. With the rest of the seats still been filled by LBA-SOU passengers.

It's all going swimmingly - look, it says so on the DTVA website...
The business travel sector is giving big thumbs up for the new ‘north-south’ link from Durham Tees Valley Airport to Southampton.
That was the message when representatives of business travel specialists met at Rockliffe Hall near Darlington at an event organised by Durham Tees Valley Airport and Eastern Airways, who introduced the twice-a-day weekday service just three weeks ago.
Says Durham Tees Valley Airport Marketing and Communications Manager Emma Ormerod “We already know from the response we have received from business travellers in the North East that they see the new service as a very welcome way of being able to do a full day’s business in the South of England and get back home the same day.
“It’s a similar story at the other end—reflected when around 100 businesses from the Southampton area gathered at a recent event organised by the local Chamber of Commerce.

MME-SOU
Was going to ask the same question!
Realistically, I imagine that single figure pax is a realistic target both MME and T3 have set, given the fact the route is not direct and the ABZ route is averaging around 10 pax at the mo.
I just hope they give it time to grow unlike BRS and, to a lesser extent, BRU.
Any news on any more announcements with regards to Summer 2010?

MME looks to be staying open for the time being, KLM have announced there future on MME and are very positive towards it. Also Emma Omereod has said that more routes could be to come and I did hear TOM are looking to expand from Winter 2010 at MME.

PS: T3 MME-LBA-SOU pax and load figures should be out around the 15th December, I'll post them on here and as always they will be on the DTVM site.

Well done Eastern!
Just a quick heads up and a well done to Eastern.
They are operating an additional Aberdeen-DTV flight tomorrow morning presumably with stranded passengers from tonights fun and games (fog) - now you wouldn't get that with Ryanair...

I feel that KLM should really hammer home the message that you can fly anywhere in the world from AMS by departing from Teesside (Oops) The general public (that I have talked to) seem to be unaware of this.
The alternative to flying from Heathrow, when we had the connection, seems to have not been exploited by KLM. Get advertising KLM, more, and you'll increase your load factor and maybe require even larger A/C to cope with the demand.

mmeteesside. You would be surprised just how many rescue flights Ryanair actually do. In the years I have been with FR, I have been called in many times to fly an empty aircraft somewhere to rescue stranded passengers.
I would even go as far as saying that out of all the companies I have flown for over the years, Ryanair seem to make at least the same, if not even more effort than others, to get their passengers to where they want to go.

New routes 2010
A few new routes to add to the growing list that I know some of us will have known about for a while and are listed on dtvm but have not been very heavily advertised...
TOM B757 ski charter to Grenoble (shared with MAN) in Jan and Feb
TOM B767 fly cruise to Barbados (shared with NWI)
VIK B737 Newmarket holidays to Madeira in October.
I do think it is the way ahead for MME to try to attract either w patterns or, as with the charters above and the MME-LBA-SOU, share with another similarly sized airport.
Could flyBE do a BHD-MME-CDG for example? Or a EDI/GLA-MME-LGW?

Yes, thank you.
Ryanair do actually do a good job of helping pax when the time arises.
I cant for the life of me figure out why people on this forum are so anti Ryanair when we are one of the only airlines profitably bringing pax volumes and new routes to regional airports (granted we pulled a few this year, but it was the worst recession since the 30's) that wouldnt have been touched by the greedy blood sucking legacy carriers.
OH AND LAST MESSAGE REGARDING NEW ROUTES FROM MME AND 'SHARING' WITH OTHER AIRPORTS. ASK YOUR AVERAGE JOE IF THEY WANNA TAKE HALF A DAY FLYING VIA THE UK REGIONS TO GET TO THEIR DESTINATION, I KNOW THE ANSWER IS NO.

Is this a record?
Arrived on ALC flight last Tuesday. Doors opened on plane. Exited plane ,walked to terminal,through Immigration,picked up two hold suitcases and exited terminal into car park and was sat in car 13minutes after doors opened.
Would have been a minute or so quicker if they hadn't sent the luggage to the wrong belt. I was about 40th out of terminal. Why don't airlines want to use this airport?

Your average person in the North East thinks Teesside is for Cessna's and Newcastle is for passenger aircraft they think there is no alternative.
If a massive advertisment project was set up say in September and the flights were there at a competative rate the airport would be full. I just presume there isn't the will and the cash to make it happen.

"massive advertising campaign" this has been done as each airline tried MME. If you remember Baby and MME were every where for the first year of setting up and then operating from MME.
During the Airtours move to MME I heard of people in the Sunderland area who were booked from MME without knowing! When they complained were told only flight available from NE!! A travel agent tried the same with me during this time, when I pointed out the available flights from NCL I was told no seats available, I went to another agent who surprise surprise found seats on those flights!
So I think we can say most things have been tried!!
