Anth read the response again from Sunshine, check with your tour operator! This is only a rumour network and you will get 100% accurate information from your operator if they have it.
I do feel for all of those on the affected flights / holidays and hopefully alternatives are arranged before too long.

Seems to be a few new additions to the website;

- Durham Tees Valley Airport Hotels
- FLY LOCAL - Business Travel Pledge
- Private Aircraft Charters

Airport Name
I know it's been said before but I've just returned from MME, AMS, FCO, CTA and return. The only place that used Durham was MME, all the others used Teesside. KLM aircrew use Teesside, checkin desks use Teesside, in flight magazines (KLM and Alitalia) use Teesside and the poor lass on the checkin at Catania couldn't even pronounce Durham. When Teesside was mentioned her face lit up with relief. Come on Teesside Airport new management, start putting things right by changing the name back to what the world knows us by. Oh and by the way, try telling Joe public (ie me) what public transport links there are and stop directing telephone queries to surly scousers at LPL.

Looking at Vancouver's CV it would appear that they are sensitive to local opinion ( Unlike Peel ) The Evening Gazette ran a pole recntly on local naming and Teesside Airport came out on top alongside Teesside area status etc. Perhaps Vancouver may be rebranding as well as everything else they are surely about to do in the near future.
Shame about losing the Onur flights so soon into their tenure. Mind you even Peel can't be blamed for that.

Airport Name
Too late- Get me some traffic ....the damage has been done.
What do we do..start again?? at what cost?
Me thinks that VAS will be taking a long hard look at their investment and the DTV arm will eventually be surplus to requirements.
Nice little earner to the local councils,plenty of land etc.Lets face it..no body really wants to fly from DTV/MME/Goosepool.Its in the wrong place at the wrong time.Why was it not the major Civil airport back in the sixties.Because the RAF saw a niche and jumped at it earlier.
Its got one great thing going for it...the staff...and unfortunately..that doesnt seem to matter these days.

Highwideandugly to say no one wants to fly from MME is just silly! The problem is that economics dictate at the moment that people fly from NCL or LBA due to economies of scale! Also it is obvious that the name change has never worked and apart from a few the damage as you put it hasn't been done as nowhere knows MME as Durham Tees Valley! I ve come across it too in Seattle when checking in. Over there you don't want to make mistakes either as they are jumpy! When I said also known as Teesside everything was all right! You try telling a gun wielding American that there is such a place as Durham Tees Valley when they are say no such place exists! Its obvious that the name change never worked. VAS if you are going to spend money on something to start with look no further than the name!

Dear highwide,
I really think you should be more positive on Teesside's future. I bet you were one of the ones who claimed that England would have no chance of winning the World Cup.
The future of Teesside Airport can only go one of two ways. The first is an airport, the second is scrubland.
There is no chance of building houses on the site. There is no demand. There is no planning permission. There are no services sufficient to support what would be a new town. It is in the wrong place as you keep telling us. Everything is against it.
To support warehousing and or light industrial use it needs a hub and that hub is the airport.
Ergo no airport = no industrial use and being in the wrong position = no housing development. It's the airport or nothing.
Teesside Airport of course.

Does anyone know about any rise/fall in figures the past few months?
- A lot of Eastern's flights seem to arrive quite early, such as today;
T3585 from Aberdeen arrived 20 minutes ahead of schedule...
Is this due to a lot of buffer time?

With the loss of the Onur flights things are going to get worse in the short term before a recovery.The winter flight programme is a vast improvement on anything ever attempted at the airport and Thomson have to be congratulated on their vision. All I hope is that they will make a profit on their investment.
Amazing
Took a trip up to Newcastle for the anniversary shin dig. Amazing to see all those people and more so all those aeroplanes!! it shows how far we have fallen behind.Your optimism is admirable Paarmo but there are so many things wrong with DTV,its image and direction for two that I dont think we will ever catch up?
The Thomson programme is erased by the loss of Dublin (again!!) we really are in the same position we were 20 years ago.BTW when is our 50th anniversary??
Final thought...Newcastle in two aircraft movements yesterday carried more passengers than we carry in total on a normal summers day!! Phew !!
