It’s a common theme..always full of the ‘good’ news..but always non existent in reporting the ‘not so good “ news.
The airport has made amazing progress over the last 18 months..no doubt.
The hard part will be continuing that progress.

Bad new for KLM passengers travelling home for Christmas today. I see KL1530/7,8,9 are cancelled today and presume no flight on Friday morning. Info from the movements site. Quoted shortage of aircraft not even a German Airways or Transavia must be available.

Not sure in any walk of life you would wallow in bad news or shout it from the roof tops? Why would Ben be any different?

Because he is an elected public servant who should not exaggerate any good news and has a duty to accurately report any not so good news. In other words, the electorate and any potential investors should be able to trust him.

It is the agreement between the applicant and Darlington Council about contributions required as part of the planning application approvals.
Section 106 agreements is part of planning application approvals for developments. This is where the local authority requests funds for numerous things. Such as to be put towards road/ rail infrastructure improvements, education/ health facilities, community facilities, environmental improvements etc.

The planing application includes the new Jet Centre that as previously stated is the part of the development that is going ahead. Don’t think that will involve any new jobs however.

What country have you been living in for the last 7 years?

Mr Houchen did a very interesting on line Q&A last night.
He hopes to announce the first tennant for the South Side next year.
He intends to announce tenants for the two new hangers beside the station next year. Guess that this will be the aircraft painting contractor who are repainting the Jet2 fleet but this was not confirmed by him. No mention of the Willis again or even the new Jet Centre.
May be developments on freight soon although I note that the big announcement expected in mid-December hasn't happened. Told by others that this may be down to the CAA however.
He hopes that some work will be done to the rail station next year but not sure what that means.
Having stated on his Facebook page a couple of days ago that pax numbers will increase next year he confirmed no new flights agreed but Malaga still a target.
The publication of the corruption report was not addressed but national press now suggesting that its release has been delayed again from the origional date in October and now expected mid-January and Mr H acknowledged that he may not be reelected.
Lots of well justified praise for the staff at MME with reference to airport of the year..... twice!

The rail station is shut, now behind the fence for the new hangar. The contractors haven't removed any of the old building as yet, the old cargo centre or the flying club. They seem happy moving large quantities of soil from A to B, not sure where its come from as the area used to be flat.
The "multi-million pound cargo facility", hangar 3 to anyone else is minus front doors this week, no idea why, so presume the scanners are more exposed to the elements.
