Friends of DTV?
Given a fairly active thread on pprune and several other well known DTV related sites out there, what do people think about the prospect of a 'Friends of DTV' association being formed, along the same lines as the independently run FODSA (Doncaster) and FOLA (Liverpool)?
As far as I can see, these are run with the support of the airports involved and could bring together all those interested in DTV out there. Only thing is what would the acronym be? FODTVA isn't as catchy as FOLA or FODSA so how about FOTA?...not wanting to reawaken the name change argument yet again!!
On another note, I contacted Aer Lingus recently asking for the reason behind the axing of the DUB service and whether it will be back next summer but have had no reply. Anybody got any news on that?

Load figures as requested back to Home page
Thanks Paarmo with those figures there are a number of virtual airlines on there.
New FRA stands looks nice shame they couldn't do the whole apron and make a good impresion for visiting aircraft.

EI Regional Pax numbers
It must be said there has been very little advertising about the DUB flight but I think the same could be said about the services from MME as a whole. Apart from those interested, I wonder how many of 'Joe public' actually look into flying from MME nowadays before looking at LBA, NCL and MAN.
Since the figures listed were from May, it would be interesting to see if they have improved slightly for June, July and August.
We may well see EI and DUB as a summer only destination from MME as was the case with NCL-DUB with EI A320s a few years back.

Dear Andynomates,
It's patently obvious what a friends association is. It's like friends of the earth who..............do things about earthy matters and friends of hospitals who............do things to do with sick people. Presumeably the friends of Durham Tees Valley Airport will................. Yeah I'm baffled to.
Unless the whole ethos of the airport changes I can't see them getting much of a welcome, let alone a meeting room for their meetings and free parking. Security even hassle the spotters on public land at the end of the runway.

Paarmo, why do you insist on some insulting opening remark? Fairly pathetic really.
I didn't ask what one was I asked what the point was, something which you seem to agree with apparently.
Give it a rest.

Well I was neither calling for one or signing up...just merely an enquiry given the two other airports in the VAS/Peel group have one and, from a quick look, hold various events in and around the airport.
Anyone know when the passengers figures for June and July are available? May was down 11% from last year so will be interesting to see if the gap has narrowed or widened over the busier summer months.

PAX Figures and DTV
.....Now theres something you dont hear very often!!
My guess is the downward spirall continues??
No sign of major(or any) improvement on the horizon however by default!! figures should start to rise over the winter?? i.e a couple of extra flights per week compared to last.

Latest pax figures route by route don't paint a positive figure given July is peak season. JER not looking great at average 52 pax and Bourgas at 88pax on average (49%) perhaps the most worrying! Thought these routes were staple routes for MME!!
