DURHAM TEES VALLEY AIRPORT - 5
David, yes and no, the flight comes down from Aberdeen to DTVA and then on to Southampton and back again. Only thing you cannot do the Southampton part of the flight from DTVA.
I see from DTVA movements KLM produced an Embraer ERJ-190 on one of the flights today.

Same applies to the people that live under the flight paths into LHR, LGW,STN, BRS - the airport was there long before they moved in and if anything aircraft noise has reduced substantially over the years- does it stop them complaining? Hell no!
When the lovely people who will eventually buy these houses move in to discover, shock of all shocks, that there's an airport in their back garden.
The lovely people will/should be well aware of the circumstances prior to purchase

Problem is nothing is happening(or nothing aviation wise)!and so people s minds and typing wander.....

By all accounts it hasn't gone down well at all and objections have been filed left, right & centre. H&S hasn't been considered whatsoever and the opposition seems to be so strong that at the very least the planned drop zone near the Charlie taxiway will likely not go ahead. Whether that means the firm would still move in or not I'm not sure, full credit to the airport for trying to bring extra business in, but it's not been very well thought through on this occasion, a prime example being if the Air Ambulance needs to depart on an emergency call-out but has to delay due to parachutes falling, it could make the difference between life and death for some poor begger.
If this goes ahead, I fear one bit of new business could lead to the loss of existing business(es).

Where can I read the full details of the proposed parachute operation at Teeside?
It founds like an ideal project for this sleepy airport. Perhaps the guys will need a couple of DZs to cater for the issues that some have flagged up. But, it could give some extra life to this sleepy airport and perhaps some free flying for aero-club members driving the drop plane. Parachuting people are really good fun to be with and will certainly liven up any aero-club bar !!!
An off airfield Drop Zone would negate most problems.
Possibly the most exciting idea for Teeside in ages.

How about turning the mothballed 40% of the terminal into a landside aeroclub/pub/bar, reopen the "beer garden" it could attract a few people. Offer a happy hour, free parking etc... Never know.

More Peel bungling?
Unsure as to where all this is going, from what I hear the airport is not keen at all on granting leases & supporting aviation related development. No doubt there are two sides to this, but I haven't heard the balanced argument.
Not saying more, as appears that one needs to watch their backside on this site now!

Parachute school should go down well with the new residents - what better on a summers weekend afternoon than to watch the pretty parachutes floating down.
Just add in the two based rapid-response helicopter units, what could possibly go wrong?

Im only guessing but if its Mr Ivory behind this Parachute project he is more than capable of assessing and mitigating the risk. I have seen his CV and seen his presentations, if its him... it'll be fine at Teeside.
Lets be realistic, how many times do the helicopters launch per week? What would happen if there were 3 IFR inbounds? would they all have to go-around if the helicopters scramble? Its not beyond the wit of man to find a DZ on or near the airport that won't compromise the helicopter ops. A simple radio call before dropping to check the Helicopters have not been scrambled on a life or death mission should ensure there are no "meat bombs" on their way down.
This is just the sort of thing that the airport needs.
Now, where should we site the glider launching winch?
