I don't think it's better roads per se but simply less congestion. Up Mill Lane to the A66, then over to the A19, maybe hit some traffic from Thornaby but past Billingham, there wouldn't be too much and even then, it won't be anywhere near what Newcaste would have along the A1 and A1231.
Many years ago something went wrong with engine delivery and DTVA got Belfasts and the one and only IL76 on a few days of activity. Just in time is ok until there is a slip up and you don't have these spares. Strange they use two small aircraft a day instead of one larger one.

Judges ruling on disclosure
Public comments below the press article make interesting reading, 25 posts up to now.
Will we ever find out why certain council staff allowed Peel to buy 800+ acres for only £500k ?

£500,000 for 800+ acres of prime building land which is probably worth £100 + million... hmmmmm now I wonder who go what to sign that deal 
Is there a list of names of the people WHO ACTUALLY SIGNED THE SALE OF TEESSIDE AIRPORT TO PEEL??? I dont think anyone has ever answered that question?

I'd like to see such a list too, so I could thank them for a job well done; for ensuring the airport remained open for decades longer than it would have otherwise, and for doing no worse than anyone else would have.

With British Airways reducing capacity on LHR to Newcastle and the impact of better rail connections directly from the northeast to the centre of London how on earth could a Teesside to London service be a viable proposition!
Obviously nothing is being done to try and resurrect a London service for the obvious reasons if that answers your question.

DTVA news today. Shame there wasnt more scrutiny in 2003 when Peel got the bargain of a lifetime! A bit like the Sheffield Airport fiasco.
Where you on the council panel at the time Robert? https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/t...alley-15330799
The sad thing about that article is that the airport is even more starkly in the front line of the battle between the councils and the mayor.
Beefer - can you back up your repeated comments along the line of "the bargain of a lifetime"? Peel have owned DTVA for over 15 years and I can't see that they've made much...

Back to aviation....
Landed on the 1535 this afternoon and not only was there a freight ATR on the ramp, but also what I assume was a corporate with a handful of black Landrover/Range Rovers parked alongside and some guy In a smart suit. Anyone we know?

P330 its Pheasant shooting season so there's all sorts of folk passing through. The freight flight total was four today with two smaller twins and a bizz carrying parts.
KLM are the key to the airports future - lose the "global connectivity" selling point and then mayor/local authorities will lose interest, aren't there plenty of better placed "brownfield" sites on Teesside? Planning permission then becomes an issue...
Thought you fell of a roof
no never only neighbouring airports have been given these. Go back and reed the plot and also take a look at DTV movements.
Government/Regional subsidies?

I think I was hearing about it closing down back in 2014 when I was first looking at flight schools in the area! I do hope it stays open until I finish my PPL!
Cobham operates out of the airport and there are a few commercial flights each week, plus maybe some private ones as well. Not really counting, just based on what I see fly past my window when at home or what flies overhead when I'm in town. A couple of days ago, EasyJet aircraft (two? three?) were doing circuits as well, so it has some use as a practice airfield, perhaps? I also remember before hearing about having aircraft flown into EGNV to be broken for parts, I wonder if that ever happened or if it's still going on?
