Snow Closed
Looks like the airport has been closed so far today.
KLM have cancelled all flights into MME until the 1533 on Saturday. So, even if they get the field open Friday, it's going to be another quiet one.

Went to the office this morning for a couple of hours it was arctic, snow drifts with blowing snow only to find out the courier had took the day off! Lets see what happens tomorrow. On the subject of KLM is Amsterdam getting the same weather?

So how does today's Carlisle announcement stack up with this comment?

Loganair commercial director Kay Ryan said:
“The growth in passenger numbers has been strong, however changes within our aircraft fleet from the middle of March meant we would have had to lease-in another aircraft to continue operating the service."

I think what he means is if they can lease an aircraft for Carlisle why can't they lease one for us!? They're starting Southend and Dublin as well. Embarrassing...we've been poached!

If only they'd be open and honest and say it like it is (Flybe/Eastern stopped competing), but instead they come up with a reason that they know the public (& press) will buy. Simple really.

The problem is you don't get poachers if there is nothing fat and juicy to steal. It seems that Teeside has only two real scheduled destinations, one of which is oil related and the oil boom is long gone. If there is a good catchment area with commercial demand then the airlines will come, however a bit like Manston, if there is insufficient demand they won't. Business is business.

Word in the area is the land which is for sale on the south side doesn't seem to be attracting much interest according to airport staff. Nobody seen looking at the site.
How is the Master Plan doing? Not much in the press these days?
35 acres anyone?

Gazumped is the word...makes you think..were the incentives for Loganair better from CAX. With their extra outside help!, than was available from DTV ? Call me paranoid....But maybe the mayor could have a look before he commits public funds..maybe he could obtain some incentives?
My next worry is the state of Eastern..other threads not good..maybe KLM could do a link !
