Durham Tees Valley-7
Blimey, lets go looking for things to worry about!
In answer to the original OP, assuming LHR is out of the question, I would have thought a DUB connection, preferably with an EI codeshare, would be top of the list to give easier connections to the US than via AMS.
Any other European hub is a double edged sword - would the competition cause KLM to up their game or retreat?

Having followed this thread for a while, to be honest I wouldn't worry too much about the loss of the ABZ route if it happened. The halcyon days of the oil industry have gone, and numbers will never get back to where they were as the N Sea oil industry ages. All the east coast routes to ABZ are in the same sinking boat anyway, even with just the one operator (I'm afraid the LM/T3 spat was more about trying to get one up on the other than a genuine need for competition).
I could see a return to the Air UK days, ie. when an operator consolidated the route - so for MME, I could see T3 doing what Air UK did, and route NWI-MME-ABZ for example.
I think you should concentrate efforts on keeping KLM on the AMS run, and perhaps (if LHR ever gets a 3rd runway, which is debateable) a link to LHR restored.

Richard..who knows..you may be right about ABZ. I bow to your superior local knowledge about the oil industry.
However what is worrying is..if DTV are left with a KLM service only..and that’s reducing by 33% at times. FR. possibly reviewing contracts...what future has DTV. Really got ?.
Housing anyone?

Polar. The 707 and Bandit never existed just a couple of Viscounts.
There was another outfit that had an office in hangar 1 complete with model DHC-8 in full livery but nothing ever happened.

What a terrible day for DTV ,flight cancellation and weather...hope it improves,but forecast suggests not!, Even the stalwarts of FODTV. Can’t clear this white stuff fast enough...now maybe if PEEL. Had more resources available .it might just help?
Heard the head fell off of the airports brush! even though most of it had melted by 12am. Doncaster has great new equipment. Something else the mayor would have to consider in his budget.

Not only is the level of equipment appropriate, but we have more this year than previously despite even the most basic equipment not being justified in recent years. I wondered how long it would be before highwide made that post, with the undercurrent of accusation...

The Business park at Durham Tees Valley Airport. The land currently been developed is the land adjoining Technology House. https://binged.it/2GQR2ii
Looks like a show room. Wondered if it was going to be the new camper van location as the old one is in the housing area.
Sure someone must know what's on the planning application.

But it's not there for all to see is it? You're suggesting Peel should invest in Scandinavian-levels of snow clearing equipment for two weeks of the year! Even then it's only two weeks this year, the last three of four years has been about two or three days, it's just not justifiable. Many other airports having similar problems, it's not like we're closed and everywhere else is open!

Other larger airports have been snow closed for part of today. Maybe it was in interest of the airlines and the airport for it to be snow closed for most of today.
How many snow & ice clearing equipment / vehicles does DTVA currently have?
I'm sure DTVA has had some new snow & ice clearing equipment / vehicles since these photos from 2010. BBC - In pictures: Airport reopens

In days of old the airport used to put a night team in with around four tractors up and down the runway. Now they just come in at 5.00am ish and have to start from scratch. Don't know how big the wage bill would be compared to loss of flights. The wind was drifting the snow today.
