SZD unsafe, this has been done to death, please check the facts, DVT said that, take a look back at post 392 and they had to admit they were wrong in post 369.

Colombo's been gone a while, Kojak- History! That guy on "Death in Paradise" is quite good - But Hey!! - What detective work!

for what it's worth imo.
(DTVA will close and become housing with retail park - so let's get modern infrastructure built now - Fast executive Train & Coach services to Newcastle Airport (or LBA) and link our whole region to a wider network and so attract more routes directly to the North East (albeit not DTV ..as it has ceased to be..."this is a dead parrot! - ref. Monty Python, Parrot Sketch.. for those not initiated!) - Crash helmet on!

I'm not trying to hide anything - yes I was DTVAirport, and for quite some time I was concerned that I was being mistaken for some kind of official airport account/spokesperson or whatever you want to call it, so when I heard that the airport shared this concern, getting a new account became a no-brainer.

Thank you for reminding me of the previous discussion, I am of the belief there were still safety concerns as I've heard it too many times from too many different sources, like I mention in those posts, Brymon Airways said as much. But yes a lack of radar facilities was the primary reason for airlines pulling out of Sheffield City.

VentureGo - as myself and others have said hundreds of times - the land surrounding the airport is worth a hell of a lot more with an in-tact, operational, and busy airport bang smack in the middle of it, so anyone who thinks Peel only want the land - yes, they may well do - but it's in their best interests to do the best they can to grow the airport accordingly, and the increase in based aircraft and operators over the last few months is proof they are trying.

Thank you for being honest, at least we know where we are with you.

When did Brymon say it was unsafe? Who are you getting this rubbish from?

If it was deemed unsafe, then the airline simply wouldn't have flown from it.. Outside controlled airspace? A number of small commercial airports are.

Thing is 'cautious optimist' is that you come across as a part of some voluntary Peel PR machine, presumably you are not in their pocket financially? So it's a bit strange that you wilfully stick up for their every move on here, when if you really care about the airport then you should be more critical of what is, after all, part of a multi £billion organisation who make their money from redeveloping land. The fact you perpetuate their PR work for free is somewhat laughable, but each to their own..

Pug - The airlines didn't fly from it in the end, they all left.

As I've always said I'll criticise without hesitation if I have reason to, which at the moment I don't.

Beafer, if Flybe started up Aberdeen, the likely scenario would be they undercut and force Eastern off the route then would likely leave themselves.

Just reading the DTV Movements website, seems we're getting a 2nd Microlight school, this time fixed wing, Durham Aero Sports.

All good extra business.

I wish them luck, but "number one flying school in the North East of England"? Have they operated a lesson yet?

As an airfield, DTVA has excellent prospects. As an International airport, none I'm afraid. Focus on keeping T3 and KLM, and build up GA is the only way to go Im afraid

Is there enough money in GA (especially in the North East of England) to pay the bills?

The airlines left, but they don't start flying from there in the first place if deemed as dangerous. So I would question your sources, and therefore the basis of your own opinions..

Future noise problems ?

Noticed on the DTV movements,a couple of tornadoes did approaches yesterday..just for discussion...if/when. Houses are built within half a mile of the runway..will these type of flights be discouraged from the noise point of view? I suppose buzzing micros and droning parachute aircraft can be a bit of a pain too?
I suppose worse case scenario is they are stopped to avoid upsetting the "new locals" and hence revenue from the aeronautical side might drop?

Welcome back DTVAIRPORT! Now all is clear!!

A couple of Tornado's now and then not really enough to make a big noise problem, might be just enough to make said local councilor piss her nickers as they pull away or god forbid put on a bit of after burner.

No but would it not help a little towards balancing the books?

Sadly Peel have done nothing but drive GA away from the place,

You can't have ever lived in a village, the "newcomers" tend to complain about the noise and in turn make a lot of noise about it. Take a look at this report of a cockerel disturbing a quiet country village.
BBC News - Eyam cockerel's owners served with noise abatement notice
You can even follow him on FaceBook

Hopefully Peels' recent initiatives are starting to put that right, but my point was that GA is part of the mix and not the answer. The answer for DTVA is to make the best of it's assets and to develop all of the different aspects of the airfield with this eventual aim (nicked from the BOH thread):

The level of clustering (of aviation businesses) is now beginning to appeal as an attractant in its own right and this is in no small part due to the ability to access a fully functioning airfield
The danger could be that some of the activities start to interfere with the success of the others - with the obvious example being housing and things like the parachute/microlight schools

I never left and air traffic will not be reduced or restricted in any way shape or form after the houses are built, they will try and continue to build on the marked increase we've seen of late.

They've realised this and practically managed to reverse it overnight.
