DURHAM TEES VALLEY AIRPORT - 6

[highwideandugly]

Thanks Tiger..had a good look through the figures but can't find any mention of the significance of the DTV operation and the revenue generated by the flights?

[tigertanaka]

I was merely providing some balance to the Cobham article which equally has no mention of the airport. If people link to negative articles with only a passing link to MME, it is surely only fair to post positive ones?

[Robert-Ryan]

I wish only making £225m profit was an issue for me!

[SWBKCB]

I agree, the Cobham and KLM results are equally relevant to DTVA

[Heathrow Harry]

AF-KLM making 4.2 % margin on revenue in a good year is not a business I'd want to own................

[tigertanaka]

Thats more a problem with AF rather than KLM. AF has a margin of 2.4% which drags the group down. KL should have merged with BA all those years ago...

Oil prices have been favourable but AF needs some serious restructuring and the unions won't take kindly to that.

[Heathrow Harry]

Yeah but every Anglo-Dutch "merger" seems to finish up with the Dutch having 60% and the British 40%..................... ask Shell or Unilever........... BA weren't so dumb

[tigertanaka]

BA wanted a 100% takeover but KLM was concerned about losing control of traffic rights.

The merger that went through was more or less an AF takeover as the combined company was valued at 81% AF and 19% KL.

Whether you like it or not Skylive 16 was a critical and commercial success, display teams are only just starting to announce their schedules so give the poor sods half a chance! At the end of the day a little bit of something is better than a whole lot of nothing!

[SWBKCB]

R-R, agreed - the north is a bit of desert for any sort of air display, so good luck to them

[highwideandugly]

Too right..but only a few months to go and so far we have the shape and voice of Amelia Lily and the nose of a Vulcan..at least the body of the show is looking good!

[Robert-Ryan]

But nothing gets announced prior to now anyway so that's all we were ever going to have at this point???

Air Show
I see Skylive are starting to surface for air again - the RAF have announced the Typhoon will be displaying on May 28th (the only other RAF act to announce their schedule is the King Air display in which DTVA did not feature).

Theoretically, an organisation such as the RAF would vet Skylive before committing their assets to them, therefore dismissing the general public's lack of confidence - or would they just grab the cheque??

I feel you're trying to use that against me yet it only serves to back-up my argument??

[highwideandugly]

No just pointing out last years initial dates which I found!

Weston Aviation have been kicked out!! Airport have started their own company Consort Aviation! Unable to link to press release but it's on the Gazette website

[highwideandugly]

This reminds me of what happened at Newcastle a few years ago...it was Samson Aviation Inthink,who were true aviation people and who attracted traffic,fuel stops,deliveries etc.
The airport took it in house,raised all prices and suddenly all 'extra' traffic that had been attracted disappeared.

Interesting times ahead...PEEL. Now dictate fully on the airport.
