Has anyone been past and noted how many airbuses have moved to the Southside. Is that to become the new death row?

I understood the old runway has been converted into a storage farm and the EasyJets and others will be stored there now there is improved fencing. I could be wrong!

Not a good look for a struggling airport, is there any sign of building on the south side or has it come to a standstill until unit ,D becomes occupied

Willis have something like 12-14 aircraft at Teesside occupying many stands. easyJet are disposing of their full A319 fleet over the coming couple of years. Willis has a contract for some of them hence their arrivals and are stripping of parts and will be dismantled. So more space is required, so utilising the disused runway it has allowed more storage space to be created and freeing up operational stand space.

No activity on the Business Park.

Not sure why storing aircraft is "not a good luck". Money's being made

Passengers don't give two hoots about scrap aircraft, in fact it piques the interest of many who enthusiastically enquire about them. At the end of the day, airports are for aviation, you don't get to pick and choose which elements, and many would do well to remember that.

I just thought a large number of redundant planes makes it look a little like a giant scrapyard, I have never been to an airport and seen a dozen redundant planes, it's good that they are dismantled and recycled, unlike America where they are dumped in the desert

They aren't dumped in the desert! They are stored there as the climate is conducive for long term storage and once they reach a certain point they are then recycled.

Don't let them see any of those sinister looking jet fighters!

No, it all contributes. Teesside needs contributions from all the different activities. Starting from where they were, passengers is possibly the most difficult nut to crack. A business park with a runway in the middle with passengers through the terminal contributing is fine.

Another of the mayors fireside chat videos dropped on Facebook last night.
Of relevance to the airport, it seems that in addition to the rail station shuttle bus to the terminal, there will also be a shuttle to the South Side Park. Sadly still no announcement of any tenants for the South Side yet.
Of less relevance to the airport, but mentioned on here last week, the new Tees crossing will not be an A19 relief road but will provide a Redcar to Hartlepool link by tunnel or bridge.

Believe they’re still trying to fight for the money for the Flyover relief road but the study into a second crossing will be a separate project…
