Developments into who got what at the Tees Works site.

£45million drawn in dividends, without investing their own money!

If they do an audit of the Tees site, they will also look into the airport site, as its the same businessmen involved.

Might be due to FOD blowing across the runway, as the likely suspects may be shredding documents after hearing the government are launching an "Independent Investigation!"

Will they also look at the airport land disposal?

Wasn't the state of some of the taxiways an issue highlighted in last Masterplan from Peel?

Shhhhh!. You are not allowed to mention the Peel Masterplan to develop the airport as we are all supposed to believe that there was a cunning plan by Peel and the Labour Party to close the airport and build houses until the knight in shining armour rode in and saved it......

What, we aren't allowed to say that the two are very similar apart from our Ben's paln is funded using taxpayers money rather than the profits from housing on the landside part of the airport?

Spot on. Building a few houses on spare land and access to the southside development via a link road around the 23 threshold rather than the expensive OTT new road that will take years to pay off. Not that it matters much any more as 90% of any profit will now go to a certain politicians financial supporters rather than to benefit the airport.

Grumpy1 they are quid's in as they haven't paid for the Southside road land. Guys have been sat around shifting dirt from A to B for the past year.

The Mayor made several anouncements before the recent elections that the airport would be closed if Labour did well. On this group we know him well enough to understand that it was simply another of his tall tales but spreading these stories is undoubtedly an impediment to recruiting. He has also recently acknowledged that his fall from grace is now having an adverse affect on Teesworks and the Airport and calling a local MP a coward and a liar on Radio 4 this week but refusing to answer legitimate questions does not help the Airport.

A friend on the Turkey flight’s mentioned the crew said ATC was closed and they had to sit on the aircraft for an hour before they could take off?
He said next time he flies KLM as they took off just before!!

That doesn't surprise me, as I was reliably informed years ago that the runway foundation was built using ash from the ICI works. The runway is sinking, but will be very expensive to replace.

Will Ben release that news with another photo oportunity?

It he does he will probably make up one of his stories so that he can blame Peel.

The aircraft had a slot even before the closure, so ultimately the closure made no difference

Is your friend as boring as you or are you both as idiotic as each other?

See the Aberdeen flight cancelled again today..what is going on.
From 3 flights per day at its high point, we now have intermittent cancellations on a once a day service…to what was once the best and most reliable Teesside direct flight.
Do Loganair actually care about this route? Eastern anyone!

Has the improved job creation on the Freeport, actually worked against the airport as more locals..get local jobs?
Similarly…have improvements in the local rail network and stations, hindered a Heathrow connection?
