DURHAM TEES VALLEY AIRPORT - 5
Is there any reason why RYR or EZY haven't gobbled up a decent opportunity to open up a base in Durham Tees Valley??
To me there surely must be money to be made on a select few routes??

About a year ago there was a very strong rumour Ryanair were going to open a two aircraft base at MME, I think they just wanted cheap winter storage but it can be assumed after a year that the rumour was false, although it was a strong enough rumour that there must have been some substance to it, some interest must have been shown by one or both sides and talks must have been held at some level.
CAA stats
Stop press ! Hold the front page ! Pigs are flying !
Oh yeah - and MME in Oct 2012 has shown an improvement in passenger numbers compared to Oct 2011 - including stronger numbers on Aberdeen and Amsterdam.

Will there be any jobs for experienced ATCOs?
ADI, ADV, APP, APS, ACP, ACS, OJTI, LCE, EXM?
I've also got most of 'Lindisfarnes stuff, (some of it on vinyl), oh, and I like Jimmy Nail.

Suppose looking on the positive side, then it would not be too difficult to fit the event in between the scheduled traffic......
On a more serious note then a reality check is perhaps required, there were some excellent events in the 60's, but times (& air racing!) have moved on....

Do you really think FoDTVA would announce an Air Show without having first done all their homework, got necessary permissions from the airport, contacted the RAF and in general planned it all out down to a T? Of course not. This is a sure bet and come 22nd June I'll be there with 15000+ others.
My understanding is more announcements are coming from the airport imminently, none are airlines or routes, but that's something that requires patience and will come. Nevertheless these announcements are positive and are small steps in the right direction.
To all the doubters, some more than others, you clearly want the airport to fail, well hard luck it's not going to, so p*** off to another thread

NorthboundA1, why not get yourself along to one of the Friends of DTVA open meetings and see what they have in place. I did and was surprised to see the work that's already gone into the planning of the airshow. They certainly seem to have the contacts. I'd be more than happy to lend a hand if it means we get the airshow back to Teesside.
Friends of Durham Tees Valley Airport
Thanks for your offer of support OldmanJoe it's much appreciated . Thanks too to N707ZS for pointing out that the Friends scheme is open to all , please see our website for further details ; Membership .
As a Friends committee member I was disappointed to see that the proposed airshow was given more prominence than the Friends scheme itself but I suppose that's what the press picked up on more as it's a more newsworthy story than a group of friends getting together to try and raise the profile of the airport .
We have applied to the RAF Displays Committee for various aircraft for the proposed airshow , we did start out with the sole intention of hosting a fly-in but like Topsy it's grown and grown , and have requested the Red Arrows , BoBMF , Falcons and a Typhoon amongst others . If we are successful in our bids we are totally dependant upon then raising the funding , around £50,000 , to secure both the aircraft and the groundshows to make the day a success . We hope that resident Teesside based operators and users will support us and the GNAAS , the police ASU and Cobham have all indicated that they will plus we hope input from the local GA community in the area and from local airfields and strips . We also hope to secure an undertaking from the airport that landing fees for visiting GA will be waived in lieu of a donation to a nominated charity , one of which will be the GNAAS .
We need help both to organise the airshow and run the Friends scheme . If there is anyone out there who is willing to do so we would appreciated any help you can give us ? We hope to arrange another public Friends meeting before Christmas when we can update members on the progress to date and hopefully have some input from the airport management as well . Once confirmed the date will be publicised on our website and new members would be welcome .
We also appreciate helpful comments and suggestions rather than snide sarcastic ones because at the end of the day we are just doing what we can to support our local airport .
Thanks for your time .

Well said DTVAirport. Sometimes when I look at this thread I am amazed at the ignorance of some of the Posters. Peel have not been the best thing to have ever happened to Teesside Airport and some of their strategies in previous years have been absolutely suicidal but they have recently stated that they are in this for the long term and will continue to operate as an airport. Until someone has some evidence to the contrary then perhaps they should " shut up or put up ".
If as it appears you have contacts with management perhaps you could get them to do another renaming back to Teesside ( or Parmo International which is my favourite obviously. )Wouldn't it be good publicity to rename it on the day of the airshow.

paarmo - to be more specific, Peel Airports Ltd have not been the best thing to have ever happened to Teesside Airport, whereas Peel Investments (DTVA) Ltd - if they continue on their present track - could be!
interview with the new Commercial Director - all good sensible stuff, apart from right at the end.

Any Ideas ?
Poor day yesterday for DTV and the fog..only one scheduled arrival all day and one departure..my query is (and it may have been covered in the past-sorry) if the passengers have already gone through security etc and the aircraft diverts like the Thomson yesterday..what happens to the departure fee they have paid? Do they get it back immediately or do they have to claim?

re: any ideas. the Peel £6 passenger tax
Come on DTV do tell us all, what happens to the £6 tax already paid??
How many other international airports impose a £6 passenger tax just to use an airport?
Does the £6 include VAT?
