Durham Tees Valley-7
However,it’s interesting news..he appear so to be putting his mouth where his(your) money is?
A lot of contributors on here doubted his plans and of course only time will tell..unfortunately DTV remains in limbo for the foreseeable future while it’s all sorted.

While all this get sorted either way I presume nothing more than care and maintenance will be done, few more years wasted.
Wonder how the Parmo campaign is coming along!

Busy day...
£1m Durham Tees Valley Airport deal to bring in new flights
Does this include KLM?
£1m Durham Tees Valley Airport deal to bring in new flights
Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen backed the deal. He said: “The facility is designed to support airlines and route operators looking to fly from our airport. This is a necessary step to support airlines in the short term, but it will also be a key part of my longer-term plan if we get hold of the airport.”
Priority would be given to flight operators from European hub airports.
Confused ? Firstly is it legal?
secondly...nothing to PEEL. ..but PEEL are the main owners..so
this only works if PEEL are not the main owners...so. Goodbye PEEL. If you want this sweetener.
Sweetner,bribery,pie in the sky...who knows but what a mess..

The money is for support payments to airlines, not the airport, and Peel have previously committed to match any funds from TVCA (so the Mayor is playing politics with that point).

Developments since the FOI and the small clauses added by Peel into contracts!
Its interesting how things are moving along since the FOI decision by the judge. Remember Robert Hough said a decision into the airports future would be looked at in 2021.
TUI was shown the door by Peel. Its recorded in the press for those who think differently. Thomson flights axed from Durham Tees Valley Airport - BBC News
Peel and the councillors who agreed on the airport sale now know that the public and press are watching, so they will have to tread very carefully, especially as the "airport closure clause" was included by Peel.
Thats if Peel can show that the airport is not performing financially. Wonder what Whittaker and his cronies think of this venture as it didn't exactly go to plan like Sheffield
Notice the small clause which was added by Peel before Sheffield airport was closed..

Call it a coincidence or planning?

For the third time; the door is not closed to TUI or anyone else

It may not be now as Peel have done a massive UK turn on the viability of servicing aircraft over the 120 pax size. Previously though the door had been closed.

It was always open subject to the circumstances being right, if it ever was closed then it was for reasons of good business practice (i.e. minimising loss)
£1m sweetener to attract airlines to Durham Tees Valley approved
After the meeting, Darlington Council leader Cllr Bill Dixon was pleased the idea had come to fruition. He said: “Whatever the outcome of discussions of ownership of the airport, we will be able to draw down on the fund with KLM all being well. This will give us a facility, and I think it probably will do, to appoint someone on a fixed term contract to do some route development for us. There will be a budget there to do whatever is needed to bring flights in. Be they tourist or domestic flights, there is a need for them. It’s a piece of business which needs to be done wherever we land.”
