I think you will find that charter company loads have been excellent through this summer's crisis as they had scaled back almost to ticking over. They obviously see that things are improving and flying out of Teesside is preferable to parking the aircraft up for the winter. At least they will cover their costs and who knows might even make some real money. It is a restart for Teesside and I think it finally kicks into touch any rumours that Peel are redeveloping the airfield for houses. ( I can't believe I have just typed that )
The next stage is to revert to the Teesside name so that people who matter ie customers , know where they are flying from.
Come on Peel....you know it makes sense.

The longest journey always starts with the first step DJ6 and hopefully this is it. As an aside we also had our busiest day for about 6 months today accepting 7 diversions. Don't burst our bubble. Let us dream if only for a few months.

Diversions
Hi there,
Could you put a list of the 8 diverts up as I dont have as much info as any of you. Thomson winter flights promosing, maybe these will start to be brighter days for DTE. I used to go there 5 years ago with my grandad who lives in Northallerton and every time we went we used to see as many as 40 in a day as far as I can remember, lets keep our fingers crossed everyone
Best wishes planenutter

Extremely good news for DTV airport.
People here should realize that if Thomson has decided to commit itself again with MME, it has to be seen only in a positive way because it caters for local holiday demand. So please, don't complain at any time, even in case of really good news.
Dalaman (Turkey) might also be a part of Thomson's Summer programme in 2011, from MME, as this holiday spot is selling fairly well from Teesside area with Goldtrail and Holiday4u.

Here is an outside bet, although it goes against the grain of my thought process, this new "2 tier" terminal is in my opinion only being laid out because someone has said they want it as they wont pay full handling charges for a full service terminal. Nobody sensible would do it off their own bat, so who is asking for it?

Why would it cost an airline more to use the terminal anyway? Its hardly the biggest airport in the UK.

Because FR will not pay full service charges so they demand shell only configs across Europe and pay accodingly. Hence many major full servcie airports have built / adapted shell scheme terminals or gates on the basis that if they will only pay peanuts they give them the airport equivalent of monkeys.
Are they likely to expand at DTV while they open a base down the road?
Airports as small as DTV do not need seperate low cost terminals.... It is clearly just a ploy to save money as they can cut staff etc...
I am waiting to be proved wrong though.

According to the Northern Echo the case between Peel and bmibaby in the Court of Appeal will be heard on January 26 and 27 - decision is not likely to be known for several weeks.

T3 Mme-lhr
Talk on another thread of a new LPL-LHR 3 x daily service provided by T3 using leased EMB 135s. Could MME be in the running? Surely Eastern have killed off the (few) pax that use SOU with all the recent cancellations?

and where exactly do T3 intend on getting the slots from? Although having said that, the obvious favourite for where the E135s are coming from is BD regional, so perhaps BD have given them the slots?
Either way, don't think they'd be able to get enough slots for both LPL & us. I also dare say the route would work better from us than from LPL.

London-Liverpool: 2hrs 8 mins city centre to city centre, every hour, by train. Who on earth would fly to Heathrow? Plus there's a long haul airport just down the road and several flights a day to Schiphol which is a million times better than Heathrow.

LPL - LHR Connections and catchment is the answer: the train doesnt go to heathrow unfortunately and 80,000 people travelled MAN - LHR in Dec 2009 so a market exists. However it would be good to see DTV link re-established to

Great news well done DTV
26 January 2010: Aer Lingus and Aer Arann have today announced that agreement has been reached to establish a franchise arrangement between the two airlines.
Under this franchise agreement Aer Arann will operate 12 routes from Dublin and Cork. The routes will include current Aer Lingus and Aer Arann routes as well as 3 new routes.
These franchise services will be branded as "Aer Lingus Regional" and operated using Aer Arann ATR 72-500 aircraft and crew. All franchise flights will be sold and distributed through Aer Lingus- cheap flights, gift vouchers, hotels, car hire, & travel insurance. Aer Arann will assume full operational and commercial responsibility for the services covered by the franchise agreement with Aer Lingus receiving a franchise fee in recognition for providing its brand and product suite to Aer Arann.
The new agreement significantly increases Aer Lingus presence in the Ireland-UK market with new services to Ireland from Bristol, Blackpool, Cardiff, Doncaster/Sheffield, Durham, Glasgow and Edinburgh in addition to new seasonal services from Cork to Jersey in the Channel Islands and La Rochelle in France.
