Grant joined the airport three years ago, firstly as business development director and then as commercial director.

He had previously held a number of senior management roles in the airports industry, including as a director at Glasgow Prestwick Airport
Hmm, two questions:
1. How much 'business development' has there been at DTVA in the last three years?
2. Is Prestwick a successful airport?

He's taken Steve Gills job, we appear to be getting our own hierarchy rather than shared with Doncaster.

NorthSouth
1) Lot's - There are a lot more businesses, aviation or otherwise, at the airport now than prior to three years ago
2) More so than when he must have been there than now that's for sure

After my positive posting regarding the Impressive figures for January..reality kicked in!

If that level continues all year then it will be the lowest passenger figures recorded since 1969.
At the moment those levels won’t continue ,as we are back to an erratic carrier and only 3 flights per day to Aberdeen.Also as stated..KLM also cutting the AMS service over the Summer months...so apart from a Summer Jersey flight..the figures will continue to decline.

Not good?

Not good but there is about 16% more capacity on the KLM E175 (88 seats, all sellable) than there was on the Fokker 70 (80 seats, 4 rows of J means 76 sellable seats).

I'm confused Tigertanka. If there are 4 rows of N class are you trying to say these are not for sale? If I have booked J class to SIN then I would appreciate the use of a J seat MME-AMS, after all I've paid for it!

The Fokker 70 had 80 seats - for each row in business class, two of the five seats were blocked out, meaning not all 80 seats were sold. On the Embraer 170, there are 88 seats, all of which are sold, as no seats are blocked out in business class.

Council boss says Peel were never going to be given a penny.

Councillor Dixon comments on the airport at full meeting.
https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/t...outes-14455738

QUOTE:
Councillor Dixon replied: “It was never the intention to give Peel a penny.

“Peel asked for money, yes, and Peel may think they are going to get money.

“But the intention was always to have the capacity within the Tees Valley Combined Authority because I am not 100% convinced that our all has been done that could be done to bring new routes to that airport.”

Yes - good news. Bulgaria has been a popular destination for years - they obviously see money to be made, lets hope both sides have read the contract this time!

Good to see a holiday route. Mr Hough gives a video interview.
In it he mentions Logan Air?

KLM was full first out this morning. Mayor Ben would probably take credit for this! But nothing to do with him.

Would you rather he did nothing and let KLM axe the route? The Mayor is creating a dialogue to ensure that the airport and local economy don't suffer.

There's no suggestion KLM are considering axing the route, they have no reason to its a strong performer
