Teesside International Airport-1
TUI are the only likely candidates and I'm sure they've served the Dominican Republic (which takes an awful lot more to type than PUJ) previously from NCL - replaced it with Cancun?
Also, remember that the business case based on which us taxpayers are supporting Teesside is to improve the regions connectivity to facilitate exports and inward investment, not to fund cheap holidays for Teessiders.

I imagine network carriers which would provide onward connectivity will not consider MME for new/increased service until they see perhaps 500,000 pax per year through the airport. This would show both substantial operational capacity and a desire for air travel from local residents (who are also the employees of exporters)
If MME wants flights that are *codeshared* with something in the Lufthansa, Norwegian or SAS groups, then maybe 10 short-haul leisure or migrant labour focussed routes need to come first.

Airtours left because of a company restructure/downsizing and Thomson left because of the MME market becoming overcrowded (bmibaby / Ryanair / FlyGlobespan's first route to TFS), if it was the lack of demand hinted at then the bases would not have lasted anywhere near as long as they did.

TUI's 787 operates from NCL 4x every 2 weeks with just the 2x on the alternative weeks , Thats a very good unchallenged long haul market they have here. They wont launch PUJ whilst they sell that many holidays to Cancun.

SEN, MCO, GLA ? As a casual but genuinely interested reader I guess that the preceding are "abreviations" of destinations and that with my limited knowledge I guess that GLA could be Glasgow, which incidently only took me half a nano second to type out fully against typing GLA. Should I have a list of these abreviations available for quick reference or is there any chance that destinations can have their actual names typed out fully so that us who not so clued up can understand ?.

Perhaps Teesside to either Alicante in summer or Tenerife in winter might be a more attainable target than the Dominican Republic ?
