Teesside International Airport-1

[highwideandugly]

At least it’s business ..and a lot of Northern airports would give their right arms to have such diversity?

Does Sycamore Aviation still exist? I thought they had a dismantling business in hangar one.

Opening hours

The Airport opening hours have now been revised to between 0700 and 2245 on weekdays, still PPR only.

Cobham do seem to have been busy lately - is it just more noticable with nothing else flying, or are they busier than normal?

[N707ZS]

To be honest Cobham are operating less than the usual number of flights.

March CAA stats (for what they are worth):

• Cardiff: 80 - new
• Southampton: 239 - new
• Belfast City: 136 - new
• Dublin: 81 - new

Rolling 12 month passengers: 141,801

Like all airports..figures are pretty meaningless?

It’s the future that matters...Airport seems pretty secure due to ancillary work...Cobhams et.al....as long as those contracts continue..the airport might actually be in a better position than most after this nightmare is over?

Eastern have cancelled the August short series of IOM flights, after the cancellation of the Classic TT.

Willis Asset Management finally announced officially by Mayor Ben today, so I guess we can talk about it again...

[SWBKCB]

A GLOBAL aviation company will be using Teesside airport as its base for European aircraft maintenance. The deal will create 20 high skilled jobs at the airport, with the opportunity for further expansion.

Willis Asset Management Limite, which has its headquarters in Florida, has leased a two hangars at the airport to allow it to house aircraft and parts while carrying out maintenance, storage and disassembly of a wide variety of commercial aircraft types.

How many staff work at Teesside airport under the new management? Are most being paid 80% by the government?

[mmeteesside]

Restart of routes appears to have been delayed a week from previously available 15th. Aberdeen and Belfast due to return on 22nd June now, with a fairly quick increase after, Southampton & Cardiff restarting on 29th, and Amsterdam, Bourgas and London City around a week later. Alicante from 17th July.
Good to see operational airfield hours will be 7 days from Monday too!

[N707ZS]

Wonder if they will advertise the fact that its going to be open again.

[highwideandugly]

Word is probably getting round anyway as been a lot of training,fuel stops this last month ?

Wonder when the first aircraft will arrive for the new US company..plenty of aircraft going to waste out there sadly☹️

[davidjohnson6]

Perhaps a first step would be to update the airport website from an 'Airport is closed' message to an 'Airport will reopen' message ?

A quote from the local gazette about management not being replaced.

Neither the former chief executive of the South Tees Development Corporation (STDC), David Allison, or the ex-managing director of Teesside International Airport Limited, David Grant, who departed in April this year and September last year respectively, will be replaced and day to day operational management of these organisations will be undertaken by the respective director groups already in place.

Looks like KLM have delayed their return until Monday 3rd August.
