Teesside International Airport-1
Leasing slots? expensive charges? For the coming winter season at least, isn't this all old world thinking? As I said earlier - LHR will be happy for this route to run until they get back up to near capacity.
Don't forget that LHR was a successful route for BMA for many years, and LBA-LHR has now disappeared. Might well be that it was the supply that was missing, and not the demand (for LHR at least!)
I’m really struggling to see where the demand to London (LHR and LCY) from the MME area is all of a sudden, especially during the current climate.

The way the Mayor was talking the Heathrow route was an 'opportunity' that arose so they took advantage of it - some great footage on Look North of a BMA Viscount when the Heathrow service first commenced in 1969.
Also some interesting analysis on Anna.Aero of the Teesside to Amsterdam market - best load factor in a few years last year at 75%, and some information on where the transfer traffic goes, with Alicante as the biggest transfer destination with Heathrow second!

Heathrow second ? I know a few posts on here in the past alluded to that journey! I can’t believe many high flying businessmen(if they still exist after all this) would use that elongated time wasting route when a train will get them there in a couple of hours? Plus now a direct flight.
Alicante first? So the two main transfer routes through KLM and Amsterdam potentially effected? Hence my thoughts on a possible permanent reduction by KLM once these two are up and running from TIA?
I know Newcastle were wary of other airlines introducing new routes in case it affected existing ones? It’s generally a small market in the NE and at the moment,a shrinking one?
Strange times ahead.

Were people really flying Teesside to Heathrow via Amsterdam en masse? I’m shocked if true.
Similarly Alicante to be honest as I didn’t think KLM flew there unless the transfer was onwards with Transavia or another alirline.

Agree on the MME-AMS-LHR traffic, but what staggered me was 1,544 passengers a year to Atyrau in Khazakstan!

Is it possible to see that top 20 final destinations of the Amsterdam passengers?

Decent numbers travelling around the North Sea destinations including Copenhagen (2685), Stavanger (1697), Billund (1690), Bergen (1490) among other places too. Perhaps shows where the strengths lie in this areas skill base...

I thought the story as to why KLM had stuck around through thick and thin was because they picked up a lot of high-value business travel linked to the petro-chemical industry. I don't think a 75% load factor on the smallest a/c in the fleet is that great, but if the front of the a/c is making big bucks who cares if the back is full of Sky Team members using miles to fly to LHR and ALC....
KL has an interline agreement with Air Astana (KC), for their 5 x Week AMS-GUW flight. I have flown in the KC flight many times, it’s usually half full, but the tickets are three times the price of flying LHR-TSE and then onto GUW, both for Y class.

I can’t believe that many people would take such a convoluted route to Heathrow. Is this in fact counting people starting out from Heathrow or Teesside and ending up back at the other after having flown to Denmark/Kazakhstan etc in between?

You have to wonder how deep the Mayor's pockets are. His opponent has a fair point.
They have no slots for this winter at LHR and running an E170 into LHR is a very expensive exercise as the noise margin means that it's charged more for landing than an A320. It could be a very expensive flash in the pan.

Number of Movements
On the positive side really movements are the important thing, although the airport slipped to 15th busiest in the country, but still way ahead of Newcastle and Leeds. All generating some income I guess..
Most of the movements were Falcons...which are an annual Contract..so I suppose no daily/ monthly income unless the contract is skewed to daily/weekly or monthly system?

Looks like the Netherlands will be added to the quarantine/advise against all but essential travel list from Saturday. This includes transit stops.
Not great for the returning KLM which I guess is at risk of being pulled again.

The guy on the LHR Facebook page who announced that Eastern were launching MME-LHR with an E170 (he did jump the gun a few weeks earlier as well) has just updated his post. He says that they will also be running an E190 on the route and that after the launch in September, it will increase to 3 daily.
Let's see if this happens but if Eastern have managed to nab those FlyBe remedy slots from BA, then I guess this would mean the end of MME-LCY?

Responding to a question from Cllr Chris Barlow over whether the combined authority had paid up front for flights that didn't happen, Ms Gilhespie (Tees Valley Combined Authority chief executive) added: “The combined authority is not directly subsidising airlines. We have provided a turn-around budget to the airport, but the airport is in control in terms of how it manages that.”
All airports are loosing massive amounts of money at this present time.TIA will be no different..an expected loss of £2 million per year will be the tip of the iceberg? It will be interesting to see up dated figures when available?
With Wizz going to Doncaster..I think you can now count on half of one hand the potential low cost carriers left..to be the Knight in shining armour ?
As previously stated ,its a blessing,Cobhams,FR etc. are currently paying their way.
