DURHAM TEES VALLEY AIRPORT - 6
Supposedly on the day of release of the Moorfield Semley plans Newcastle got a big shock.
Sure Beafer can fish some detail out, but from memory there was a large cargo ramp and a 4 bay 747 hangar.

Interesting posts on other threads..inc.DTV movements re Kemble possibly closing....hints they could be looking elsewhere for the business..DTV anyone? Sycamore and here ... why not??
A bit of income for PEEL !!

Don't want to spoil the KLM bandwagon...but there has been a lot of really positive news and spin,regarding the KLM increases and partnerships between the two business s....
Now I know the CAA stats are rather dubious at the moment ,but it's all we have to go on!
9 months for this year showing...minus September,November and December.
Total pax. 80737. 2015 Was 76847 same months .
Gives 14% growth...however if you bisect it all and using a very approx daily schedule of 3 (6 return)per day....gives an average increase of 2.5 pax per flight!!!!!
Now I'm not sure that KLM would be overchuffed with that....and yes we don't know fares/yields etc.
We still have 3 months to report and my gut feeling is that all three months will also be down using the DTV website and lists of cancelled flights?
It's going to be an interesting end of year figure,considering that the only other schedule route to Aberdeen has been decimated during 2016.
Time for spin guys!

re KLM, the number of pax is small but they seem quite happy, so must be worth it for them financially.
Realty is ,that's another big hit to revenue,along with expected police departure.wonder if PEEL will attempt to keep by offering sweeteners?
Good news is...less noise for the new house estate incumbents to complain about..result???

At risk of looking like I'm clutching at straws, could it be that they will not technically leave the airport? Given the location of the new facility it would probably make sense for them to keep getting fuel from the airport and for them to use the ATC ground frequency as if they were landing or departing from the airport?

Disregard last post, I've read the article properly and it specifically states they will leave if it goes ahead. Given they're looking to build this new headquarters regardless, they will presumably leave eventually even if this location gets turned down. 
Would guess any new facility would have fuel 24 hours so no need to land at airport?
Plus not really a problem with ils as could leave site low level if airport open and it had traffic?
What is more worrying is that PEEL didnt provide or have a suitable offer to keep the business?

Or, since this is a time of year when business demand is at its lowest, that all the PAX could comfortably fit in one a/c. You will have seen the bargain tickets from Virgin trains, and Easyjet reduce many InterCity frequencies, and some airlines suspend certain routes entirely, sometimes right through to the clock change.
