Teesside International Airport-1
Must be due some announcement soon as the mayor is due for re-election in May. He has found the money to buy the place from Peel but other than that only a small charter season to Majorca is new and that hasn't been advertised so will it happen.
At least he’s high profile...onto Steel now...
probably finding out that’s it’s not as easy as he promised/thought ?
plenty of time though before people start asking questions about if the money could have been better spent on the general infrastructure of Teesside?
Just seems a lot of money for a few thousand locals to go holiday,when roads,trains and buses might have been a better investment for the region as a whole?

Interesting costs! I know ATC are paid much more than Newcastle ATC even though ,Newcastle handles nearly 5 million more passengers and at least twice? The movements?... Good negotiator there!!
I think the medical flights operate out of hours? No AFS. and someone puts the lights on/off..

MME were one of the worst paid units in the country if you had full ratings across the disciplines.

Controllers were getting their radar licences then going elsewhere as Onion says due to pay; so the controllers pay/benefits was increased somewhat to improve retention
Seems to have worked as Teesside appear to be ok staffing wise and I believe attracting staff back from Newcastle? Meanwhile ATC up there seems to be in meltdown with new management? Heard up to 9 ATCOs departed in recent weeks..? Divs. Anyone!

But ignoring the one off items and the discontinued operations, we have an airport that had income of £7.1m in 2018/19 and running costs of £9.8m so ended up losing £2.7m (operating profit).

This is true although ATC are being extended soon, not sure if it's by enough to cover IAS ops, whether it's for a reason or whether it's speculative to make us look more attractive to potential operators?

This might not be right, but I read somewhere that during the hours of darkness, the medical flights are able to operate the lights remotely, therefore no ATC required.

Should the Teesside taxpayers be worried about the latest financial figures revealed in the Sunday Times?
Lots of bluster from the mayor..but it’s very slow progress attracting new business. Maybe the development of the south side might help the balance sheets..not sure aviation wise what it will bring though?

The ST story is just what Beefer and in particular Tigertanaka have detailed above, and doubt whether Teesside tax-payers will be worried as the money for the airport came out of the regeneration fund provided by central Govt.
There will have to be more money spent on the southside before there is any possibility of a return

Mr Houchen said the losses were "proof of delivery" on the pledge he made to scrap Peel's plan for housing. He said: "When I brought our airport back into public ownership, I made a commitment that not a single house would ever be built on our airport for as long as I am Mayor. I said very publicly that I would stop Peel’s plan to build 350 homes right outside the airport terminal on the car park, a decision the vast majority of local people backed.
He added: "The previous owners expected to get £5m for the 350 houses. "Once this is removed from the airport’s accounts, the performance of our airport is where we expected it to be at this stage in my 10-year rescue plan that people can view online". The accounting period represented "just six weeks" under the new owners, he added.
