Oil was taken from the stricken tanker, so seems likely it would return. Is there hangarage to fit a 727 at Southend? There certainly was once.

I see the Teesside PR team is in overdrive about a couple of race horse movements.

Meanwhile the Southside and TVCA feature in the latest Private Eye. In summary, the story says the friends were selected as developement partners following what they claim was "a detailed competition process". TVCA say they were selected "following a presentation process" although nobody can give details of this process.

The resulting 50:50 partnership involved TVCA putting in £14.6m of "land and infrastructure" and the friends contribution was "forgoing management and short-term developers fees". TVCA would also lend £23.6m

TVCA says the joint venture would have 125 year lease on the land, but Land Registry records show the "beneficiary" to be Teesside International Land Ltd. I'll leave you to work out who owns that.

Will the South Side development form part of the ongoing corruption investigation and if not, why not?
I know I am a bit slow but what do the Airport and the tax payer get out of it other than more debt? Why was it all apparently arranged in secret?
Looking forward to Onion telling me how stupid I am.

Like any commercial development, the expectation is that they will make money from rent etc. The figures quoted in the Private Eye article are £190m over 40 years for the friends and £155m for the airport (as the airport are putting in actual money)

"Its never seen a box". Dont you mean it's never seen a full box..... unless you are part of the mayors PR team in which case freight is buzzing!
Notice that the brief spell of aircraft carrying components for Nisan has ended. I assume because the brexit customs backlogs at the ports have died down but they may briefly return as the last week of the school holidays is predicted to be busy.

Gets a mention on the latest Private Eye - "AIRPORT GIFTS The same businessmen who are cashing in on regeneration of the Tees freeport site are in line for a huge payout on a business park next to Teesside airport."

The airport has partnered with the University to develop the Teesside Aviation Skills Academy. Construction work is now under way to convert part of the airport’s terminal building into a dedicated facility for university training and learning. It will provide a base from which students can learn on-the-job skills across a range of airport functions including air traffic control, management and engineering. The Teesside Aviation Skills Academy will offer aviation students an immersive learning experience that allows them to explore the intricate workings of an airport. Students will be provided with access to key areas of Teesside International Airport’s operations, from ground handling and air traffic control, to food and beverage and service delivery.

Thought the airport required every bit of the terminal for all these new flights to be announced? Good initiative by the way!

it doesn't appear so! 3 x KLM rotations, 1 Ryanair and 1 Loganair is all you get through the terminal building today.

The Teesside Aviation Skills Academy
Is this different from the other charitable trust?

An idea possibly stolen/copied from DSA, which had a similar facility in its heyday?

I don't think they can be accused of copying any one, more airports than not have some kind of aviation academy provision

Some airports have an academy of sorts. DSA went the whole hog with a fully-fitted Iberia 727 fuselage, workshops etc. No idea what has happened to it all now. Does MME have something similar?
