Good to see they're doing some more refurbishing.

The airport duty managers and security staff are back working 24 hours again starting this week, having witnessed first hand the ferocity of the cost cutting over recent years, they would only shell out on the extra wages if they were going to see it back again...

Also rumours that the fire category is going to be raised again too

Beefer would say it is down to the removal of the police unit, but the obvious question about these changes is - why? Presumably no changes to operating hours?

Could this be to do with a new operation coming on the airfield? I've been hearing about some new routes...

The only new operation here at DTV will be the construction traffic when they start and build the houses, having said that though, I've heard that Ryanair and Norwegian were keen on a start up to the capital.. other than that don't know why they want 24hr cover when peel are already stating that its costing them 200k to keep open every month.. so why add to that when its not needed??

Sorry also meant to say that The grapevine states the increased security and presence was due to outside influences,not really a PEEL idea!

Exactly, there must be something in it for them otherwise they just wouldn't do it

Certain biz jets arrive early doors from USA, although not every day. If certain airlines are interested in MME what's stopping them? One name springs to mind!

I heard medevac and transplant flights and anyone else who wants to come and go after hours. Interesting to see if the out of hours fees are still applicable.


HH6702 presume we never thought Leicester could of won the premier league.

I thinking

Thursday -aircraft arrives late evening
Friday - TFS, IBZ
Saturday - PMI, ALC,
Sunday - CFU, ZTH
Monday - aircraft positions back out

Could work weekend base covered by NCL , LBA crews

So at a weekend, when both NCL and LBA are working flat out, they are going to release a frame to work from another airport?

So are you saying PEEL have done a uturn and are now actively looking for flights to operate from DTV?
If so wonder what made them change their minds?
Passenger tax to go,employment of many more staff,increased Fire Cover/ATC cover
Wonder what incentives being offered..maybe it's the Housing revenue?

What ever it will be an interesting few months..the people of Teesside have been crying out for years now to be able to fly locally..well it will be up to them!

Ps no new house viewing allowed while jet aircraft are departing or completing engine runs!!!!

You need to get your facts straight, they never were not actively looking for flights, but in this day and age airlines pay next to nothing and that's not practical for airports such as ours, whereas Newcastle and Leeds et al can recoup costs from duty free concessions / car parking etc. The public scream out for more flights then when we have them don't use them so they'll never get flights / retail outlets in sufficient volume to counteract one-sided airline deals. It will change eventually, airports will start fighting back, but until they do, we're just going to have to take whatever is available. Ironically, if Peel manage to pull off the masterplan in full...and so far they are albeit slower than expected...that might be the wake-up call other airports need.

I suppose I'll get shot down now...

Will Newcastle be able to hold many more aircraft overnight with stands etc

Could they operate the flights in using the aircraft from ncl instead then
NCL-PMI-DTV-PMI-NCL
thomson used to do this maybe airport could be looking at weekend upgrade on to cover these services

Rumours of 8/9 aircraft based at ncl for summer 2018 by jet2 and if Ryanair base overnight parking will be full...

Instead of jet2 doing 3 flights on Saturday from ncl and lba to PMI on a Saturday move one of these flights to DTV. They could fill it by people living closer to DTV then them travelling up or down to LBA

R-R - no, you are spot on, but don't follow your point about the masterplan being a wake up call?

Meanwhile...

the only mention has been of a duty officer and security staff overnight (presumably additional security staff?) - no mention of extended opening hours. Presumably even medevac and transplant flights are AOC so would need ATC at least?

Off topic, but note that a NCL apron G could be used for overnight parking, so 4 stands there and I believe the main apron is still not back to the peak years for ONS.
