Looking at Teesside Movements, I think a fair number of those are positioning flights. My guess is stockpiling/catching up around summer shut downs.

Is something causing this spike or is this the new norm?

The backlogs at the ports caused by Boris's botched Brexit are likely to to continue for a few weeks yet during the school holidays so guess they will continue in good numbers until the kids go back to school at least.

Only two cargo flights inbound today. Few of the other aircraft that where here since weekend have postitioned out to next jobs. At least looks like operating round robin services out and back with some others thrown in.

Last Friday saw five flights inbound from Ostrava.

With it being said that two new customers have been secured. I think we could be seeing some sort of regularity build up.

I was chatting with someone last month who said that things are going to really take off soon on cargo side and it certainly has been a real flurry of activity this past week and half.

Lets not forget that the two new customers claim came from the mayor and given his history of exaggeration perhaps we should first wait and see some a evidence that this is actually true.

Two new customers could be two different Nissan suppliers - the flights back end of last year came from Gyor, the recent batch mainly from Ostrava?

No sign of the Skybar terrace opening after so much media. They also don't advertise, if you buy a drink in the café you get free parking. Might ease the parking on the entry road when flights are due.

Is this a change in policy, don't chuck money at things that don't have any profit in them? Might re-emerge before the next election

I think this is only there so they have something to come back with when people moan about car park charges.

Yes, don't they enforce the double yellow lines? What about the parking rules on the rest of the site, are they followed up?

They do say it on the parking signs, airport website and social media pages since they introduced parking charges..

SWBKCB, we think there is a loophole with the entrance road not being private so they cannot ticket it. The rest of the site should also come under the same rule, does anyone want to risk it though.

The policy of drinks and free parking does exist, its, sorry Harold, just not plain obvious. A security person was discouraging parking when I visited last Wednesday evening.

The approach road to roundabout is Council owned, so is down to the Council to police the double yellow lines. Which can be done in a number of ways traffic wardens, camera cars or from CCTV.

In the grand scheme of things is £2.50 a lot of money to drop someone off? I’m more than happy to pay this if it keeps the airport going. How much is LBA & NCL?

£4 for 10 min at NCL, though you can drop off for free in Short Stay 2 at NCL - no such provison at MME (well, legally anyway)

It’s just another thing on here for the cretins to twist over. £2.50 is absolutely nothing these days, and those who cause a drama over it are nothing other than extremely tight

Totally agree people on here just like to moan & be negative! I picked someone up, went & had a coffee & got my parking refunded. Maybe this needs to be advertised more!

Problem is that the mayor has now become such a toxic character that he probably puts off more people and businesses than he attracts.

Even so, without his involvement there would be NO MME by now.

Peel had a comprehensive funded plan to develop the airport that you can find on the Movements site and fortunately the mayor adopted most of their plan. The close the airport and build houses was a political invention to justify the masive investment of tax payers money and still gets churned out.
