Bad day for Amsterdam passengers today..weather over there?

Interestingly all Newcastle flights operated normally? Wonder why all DTV flights were the ones affected?(amongst others)

Onion..try and find some Special Brew original..more effective in dealing with Beafer! Cheers

Interestingly Jet2 managed their rotation from LBA but KLM didn't - presumably due to aircraft type?

Anyone know anything about the mystery company in the list of company names the hound dug up? Who is Trushelfco. And I wonder how much it cost to remove the hyphen!
TEESSIDE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LIMITED11 Dec 1986 - 20 Sep 2004
TEES-SIDE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LIMITED10 Nov 1986 - 11 Dec 1986
TRUSHELFCO (NO. 1007) LIMITED16 May 1986 - 10 Nov 1986

[Gunfighter52]

I can't post a link to the page, but a web search of Trushelfco brings up a Freedom of Information request, which states that is often used as a placeholder name for future businesses. In fact, 3167 companies have been named Trushelfco.

AMS

A vast amount of KLM flights were cancelled yesterday: the majority of which were Cityhopper but also some mainline. The reason was strong northerly winds causing capacity issues on the runway as such the lower volume flights were pulled. NCL is pretty much a 737 operation.

Amsterdam

Discussion elsewhere on the web about Amsterdam airport having largely reached its annual cap on aircraft movements per year. The obvious next step is to encourage airlines to deploy larger aircraft on routes. In particular, routes with multiple flights on smaller aircraft (eg KLM Cityhopper routes) might instead end up with larger aircraft but lower frequencies

Is MME a candidate for this ?

[SWBKCB]

Only KLM will know - it depends on how it impacts on their hub business model. I would have thought that MME is at the minimum level in terms of frequencies if there is (as has always been suggested) a high level of connecting traffic.

Re DTVA Ltd, one of the companies service charges was satisfied at Companies house just before the new year - The legal charge related to Middlesbrough Council and the St.George Hotel land.

A separate charge is still outstanding. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/c...020423/charges

Your point is? Just out if curiosity?

Peel press statement.

Peel make a press announcement regarding the airport.

Whilst "extremely uncertain future after 2021" is far from good, it's also far from a confirmation of closure that the press and politicians are twisting it into. If the takeover falls through am I worried about my job after 2021? No. Not one jot.

[P330]

Agree completely Robert. Keep the arguments sensible I say....the press release today undermines the credible arguments out there and makes this a political discussion.

Who knows what will happen post 2021. The AMS slot issues are as much a risk as anything else...thankfully our loads are holding up and in fact increasing for now.

I watched the video on backbensplan.com yesterday and there were some nice sound bytes. But it frustrates me when business people are backing it because they need a LHR link and believe this could happen under new ownership!

If taxpayers are funding it, how is it not a political discussion?

I think he meant that it should not become a Red v Blue discussion. The acquisition should be judged on its merits rather than on the political alignment of the individuals concerned.

[SWBKCB]

Ah right - amen to that!

[P330]

Indeed I did. I also meant but probably didn't articulate well is that there are some good arguments out there for the plan without stooping to scare tactics (as they are now).

[oldart]

So is the Stobart connection to MME through their part take over of Flybe?

[N707ZS]

oldart Stobart are an airport operating company, they operate Southend and Carlisle. It is rumoured the mayor has asked them to run DTVA for him. The Flybe business is something totally different.

[highwideandugly]

Interesting as always..infrastructure probably needs updated soon.Rumours of runway and taxiway remedial work in next couple of years.

Increase in staffing and cost of the buildings..so will Stobarts take on those costs? Do they pay a yearly rent to the councils or a one of payment of say £10 million per 5 years..my guess...to operate and develop the airport?

As I said ..interesting times ahead.
