Good news that KLM are to start accepting cargo on 2 services per day from Amsterdam, the 1533 and 1539 have been upgraded from F70 to F100 for the remainder of the winter timetable presumnably in support of the new cargo service. Article
seems odd that they didn't accept cargo previously, that it is only on the inbound flight and that it is only on 2 out of the 3 - surprised if it is anything to do with the difference between a Fokker 70 and 100, but anybody know any more?

Good to see that Peel have a plan for the airport. It's a shame that they haven't had one for the last two years. The freight carrying appears to be a sideline for KLM to fill the hold but it is welcome none the less. It will be interesting to see how much freight comes in by air and whether it makes any sense of Peel's ideas to build freight handling warehouses which have been quietly put on the back burner.
Things definitely seem to be looking up after the last two disastrous and turbulent years.
Perhaps their luck might change in the Court of Appeal and they may get recompense from BMI which from the outside looking in seems to be deserved.
P.S. Good to see that people with English as a second language contribute to this site Jamier.Perhaps a decent dictionary or even spellcheck may help you.Keep on contributing though and the English will improve.

Freight from DTV
Think this is more a reflection on the poor state of the airport.I may be wrong but I'm sure freight has always been carried on scheduled flights?
So why not until now from DTV ? Bad reflection on the airport cargo agents?? do we have any,i'm not too sure??
I know trucks used to be the main option and TNT
see Carilisle suffering a similar fate as we are on another thread.
Lets face it 2010 and 2011 cant be as bad however after the 50% decrease last January,it will be interesting to see this January figures-surely it cant be down again...or can it!!!???

On the up?????
Just heard Kerry Quinn on BBC Tees news proclaiming that the airport is ON THE UP! Which planet is this 
living on?
If her definition of an airport "on the up" include the following -
Wonderful that they have new flights, but recent history doesn't bode well - none of these new schedules hang around for long, and another thing to consider - if flights get delayed and end up needing to arrive or depart after midnight, forget it, no air traffic service=no arrivals or departures.
The local press don't seem to be aware of these facts .... they certainly should be!
living on?If her definition of an airport "on the up" include the following -
- making 21% of the air traffic controllers and 40% of the air traffics assistants redundant
- cutting operational hours so there is no traffic or cover after midnight until 6 am
- cutting pay and terms and conditions
- paying less than their other airports at Liverpool and Doncaster
- demanding that staff have less annual leave

I agree that it is not perfect and in fact it is devastating for staff who are made redundant.( Not Kerry for some reason ) However, some staff are still employed and if the recent gains are built on then the staff who are redundant will be re employed soon I hope. At least there now seems to be a plan in place rather than just drifting along and accepting everything which happened.I can see why she said that things are on the up, it is management course tactics to raise the morale of remaining staff and give confidence to prospective users. Not much consolation for people with no jobs unfortunately.

Stand 13 has been condemned - I purposely had a look at it today after noticing nothing had parked there in a while, and it has three big yellow crosses across it. 12 seems to still be in use.
Perhaps they will go to the expense of resurfacing it - as part of the cargo development - rumour has it the planned hangars are going to be built after an investor was found for them.
I was told who the investor was, but I can't remember, possibly the new owners of Midwest Executive?

Stand 13, are they new crosses or the ones that have been there for 20 years! 13 was in use by a DA-900 very recently.
Where is the helimed AS365N going to park? It cannot operate from the mouth of hangar 3 East.
What happened to the millions talked about for the FRA ramp?

There have been several bids put in since Peel took over, rumour has it the likes of KLM & Singapore Airlines (through Virgin Atlantic) have put bids in, but they've all pulled out of talks because Peel are unwilling to include the South Side development - it could just be a case of the press have somehow picked this one up.
More info on the Hangars that are going to be built near stand 13 - Blackbird Hangars are going to be the ones doing it, not the new owners of Midwest. Blackbird own the DA-42 that's temporarily based.

Rumours suggested beardy was interested in HUY when it was up for sale, came to nothing. KLM just would not make sense. The Vancouver Airport Service own airports akin to that of LPL and so it would make sense...
As i say, read the Crains article.

I think you have got hold of the wrong end of the stick DTVA. Vancouver Airport Services do not buy airports but run them in partnership with the original owners. I don't think that the South Side development would deter them from taking a share in the Peel Airports Division as a whole after all it is a very small part of the division. The only thing which would deter them I think is Peel's attitude to their operating systems.

What!! I think a dose of reality is required in the context of the group's 2009 operating loss of £7.232M may be a significant factor

Having been to Southampton this morning, and back by train, I reckon Peel are making sure they get their moneys worth out of the car parking - £20 for 14 hours.
Picked the car up tonight and the place was deserted...
