Teesside-2

My friends were on the Alicante flight yesterday outbound and said there weren't many pax on probably about 1/3 full or 70ish pax. I know it's January but would of thought a few more pax, I noticed your Alicante flights are 3x weekly in the winter and 2x weekly in the Summer you would of thought it was the other way around.

If this goes ahead he will be opening himself to being dragged over the coals should Labour be successful in the next GE. Such spending is still subject to Central Government oversight to ensure local Mayors aren’t just giving out lucrative contracts to mates and basically squandering public money on vanity projects that have no potential for return or economic regeneration. BH is quite clearly part of the in crowd at Westminster currently, but these things when they change, they change very quickly.

With this in mind I hope that whatever has been going on behind the scenes at MME really does mean it can become self sufficient in the not too distant future..

Eastern

Eastern advertising for cabin crew to be based in Teesside...

Aye, it sounds like a couple of their darts have landed at Middleton St George, again.

Bets on routes? Is it gonna be Jetstreams to Aberdeen and Belfast? ATR’s to London and Paris? Or E190’s to the beach? Or a combination of all of the above.

Will Loganair step up? Will it last more than 5 minutes?

Who knows, but it’s exciting…

Where did you see that advertised out of interest?

At least it shows there's no ill will

Eastern have put post on their Facebook account advertising jobs to be based at Teesside.

According to the ever excellent DTVMovements, this is just Eastern operating the Amsterdam service on behalf of KLM during the Summer whilst they are suffering from aircraft shortages.

So good news for the reliability of that service, but nothing to be too excited about..

[Albert Hall]

Were you being sarcastic with the "good news for the reliability of that service" comment?

Yes correct @SeanM1997 on twitter has stated Eastern to operate on behalf of KLM both from Humberside and Teeside. Both operating 8 sector days. Not sure Eastern and reliability go hand in hand but we shall see

[Cautious Optimist]

An eight sector day = one extra rotation doesn't it?

Well klm booking system only showing x2 daily flights for a random week in July, so would only be 4 sector's used

[highwideandugly]

So Amsterdam reduced to two returns(larger aircraft) and two Aberdeen returns ?

Goodbye Loganair!

[SWBKCB]

Or they do other KLM sectors between MME and HUY flts

[highwideandugly]

Good point..Leeds..Inverness..Norwich spring to mind ?

[Markushillman]

I should say Amsterdam seems to be reduced to x2 daily during just July and August, otherwise its 3x daily for the remaining summer season months

Teesside - Amsterdam
​​​​​​06:20 - 08:40
09:55 - 12:10

Amsterdam - Teesside
09:15 - 09:25
21:35 - 21:45

Id suggest that with this deal the 3rd daily will come back and a rotation somewhere else (from Amsterdam). Or you will go 4x daily like cities such as Norwich have during the Summer. As those times aren't very crew friendly.

Aberdeen has nothing to do with anything?

[highwideandugly]

Aberdeen..not yet!
