Unfortunately VAS do not appear to have read their own glossy website because all they appear to have done so far is to get people's backs up and deliver nothing. None of that was mentioned on takeover day.
I feel a glass half empty moment coming on.

Don't bother with the facts then...
What is the Passenger Facility Fee (PFF)?
The Passenger Facilities Fee is a charge made by Durham Tees Valley Airport (DTVA) on all departing passengers to help support the continued operation of the airport and to secure its future.

hwd, nope, not a VAS accountant.
I mis-read the context of your 'each way' comment, in response to a previous poster, and got it wrong.
My apologies.
And yup I hope DTV's situation improves significantly.

I see Ryanair are advertising DTVA to Alicante flights for 2011.

Yes, according to Ryanair, flights resume on 29th March 2011. This would be good news.

Should be good news. Though this is a change of direction for FR to operate from and ''Additional Passenger Departure Fee'' airport. I guess Peel/VAC must have persuaded O'Leary and his crew hard on this one?

Passengers over 12 years who fly from Ireland West Airport Knock are charged €10 Airport Fee. I'm don't think that FR include this when you book flights. I think you have to pay it at Check-In. I would say it's going to be like that here as well.

Passenger Facility Fee
Reaction in the local media both yesterday and today to the introduction of the new £6 Passenger Facility Fee (PFF) at DTV rather strangely appears to be generally positive. Local radio ran a phone-in and at a guess, around 90% plus of callers said they wouldn’t mind paying the PFF, mainly for the convenience of being able to travel from their own doorstep.
However, the main message to Peel / VAG that came across very loud, and very clear, from everyone whether they were young, old, business or leisure users was that whilst they would be prepared to pay, they weren’t ever likely to actually do so because of the abysmal lack of destination choice available, and until that was resolved, Peel wouldn’t be seeing any of them in the departure lounge at all.
One other snippet that’s also on the record since yesterday - Craig Richmond, chief executive of Peel Airports, revealed that senior management was in talks to introduce new destinations from DTV, with Cyprus and Jamaica under consideration.
Cyprus I can understand, but Jamaica! Where did that come from?
