Passenger Figures
Some encouraging passenger figures for December -
Aberdeen up 4%
Amsterdam up 6%
And overall passenger figures up 1.9% on last December, even though there was no flight to Lapland this year.
Also some news in Flyer about the airport in bid to attract more GA flights.

One year on.
One year on and Mr Nears hasn't appeared to announce the outcome of the Peel plans?
Durham Tees Valley Airport: Proposed 400-home development could bring cash for schools - Gazette Live
Have Peel dropped the plans in light of the legal action by the Riverside Football club wind turbine company?

Someone posts something positive but that doesn't suit well with Beafer who has to scrape the barrel to find a way to s
t all over it!
I've always been told Spring is the planned time for the housing and wider master plan to start moving up a gear.
mmeman - a more in depth article can be found here
The article doesn't mention it but I believe they're planning on dropping the loathed mandatory-handling rule as part of this.

There was a grass parking area planned for next to stand 13. As far as I know the mandatory handling will be dropped at some point - it needs to be if they want this to work

Peel won't have anything to do with the house building, they are merely getting the planning permission and then selling the land to a third party, which as I said will be around spring.
Perhaps the best answer to the question is 'the sooner the better'.

Summary
ok. Bad.....
Passengers worst since. 1971/1972
Movement way down...but probably not unexpected
Schedules. Only 2 destinations per day.
No holiday flights
Not many ad hoc charters
Lost. Calibration unit
Paint sprayers
Air shows!
Air freight dedicated services
Good....
Retain cobhams,klm,Eastern
Hopefully. Aircraft dismantles
New policy for light aircraft movements
Fire school
Low fuel prices
And then
The master plan!! Housing. Not sure how this fits in to the village master plan of services,schools,roads,doctors and light aircraft(see above)buzzing around...see Bagby!
To summarise as much as you want the airport to survive...?? It's on a balance surely.

Too many regional airports are in trouble because of the lack of such links. Teesside is a classic case in point: its troubles started when BD withdrew MME-LHR.
Why were the "holiday flights" kicked out?

Sorry to all the DTVA supporters but I cannot see how the current airport can survive as a business with the present numbers of public air transport flights. Next to join Plymouth, Manston and Blackpool?
The cost alone of maintaining an ATC Unit and radio navaids/radar is not going to give any change out of £1+million and then add Fire/Rescue to that!
Unless someone can come up with an alternative source of income, maybe non-aviation related, its days must be numbered.

Being Realistic (although I know Die Hards will shoot this down!!) - DTV does not have the economics in a wider North East Region to be a viable commercial airport. Any costs / incentives to promote the airport would better be used promoting more flights from Newcastle and better infrastructure to the Tees Valley region linking Rail & Executive style coach links to Newcastle Airport. (Within 50 minutes Maximum - Same as Central London to Heathrow!)
