Nobody is being nasty, rude or deliberately disingenuous, if we go off course on the glide slope, it just gives us lively comments, we don't have to agree with one another, so bear with us.

Look out for Teesside standing in for New York International in an upcoming film on Amazon Prime. Good bit of fun PR for the airport but no doubt some on here will have a dig.
Just spied this in the local rag. Wonder if the mayor was an extra.

Victoria Derbyshire interviews the Mayor.
The new Lord didn't look very happy as Victoria pulled him up about a few things. The eyes got a bit twitchy!

The Mayor did not come over at all well and unable to accept the facts, his reputation has taken a serious knock, not helped by the statement that Teesside are to have SMRs , he made it sound that they were on order and deliverable soon, which is way off, so far only the technology is available, actual delivery is 15 years away if not more and only if massive finance is forthcoming,
His attitude will not help the airport grow

Probably a lack of sleep with a new born baby delivered last week.
Ah, so not due to his guilty conscience then?
He has posted an edited version of the interview on his Facebook page that completely misrepresents the nature of the questioning, and completely removes the suggestions that he was telling lies so appears to be intended to mislead his supporters. Disapointing that he appears to have no shame and so the damage to our region and to our airport continues.
The FT and the Yorkshire Post have been strongly critical again this week and this is what potential investors see.

Can we get back on topic. Of course there is a political element to the airport as the mayor got a mandate to buy it and it is ultimately controlled by the taxpayer but if you want to debate the Teessworks report, I am sure there are other better places to do that.
Any updates on:
Malaga (or other routes)
Fedex moving from NCL
Eastern wet leases running MME-AMS over the summer
Completion date for the new hangar and painting operation
Southside tenants
Loganair’s loss of interest and seemingly lack of commitment to the ABZ route

Loganair's lack of interest? More like customers lack of interest. If there was money to be made, they'd be on it.
Maybe add Ryanair's engagement to the list - lack of expansion, are load factors a concern? Are they in 'contractural obligations' mode?

Tigertanker asks a legitimate question but Mr Houchen is very much the face of our airport so when he is the subject of a highly critical report (to quote the Guardian) and guilty of lack of transparency etc etc it is relevant to the airport given that the same cronies were apparently given much of the south side in a similar manner, also in secret. Our face has been accused of lieing on national television and this week yet another major client for anounced as coming to the Teesworks stated that they were not, so it is legitimate to ask if this is the reason for Willis changing their mind, for the so far lack of growth from passenger and freight operators or for what appears to be the mothballing of the south side project.

The fact is loganair removed the based aircraft and that has meant only 1 rotation, which is easier to cancel at short notice because of crew location.
Before everyone jumps in and says it was because the numbers were down.... we don't know that and personally I believe it was for consolidation at NCL and they ve stayed on it to stop Eastern doing it multiple times a day, knowing that would have an impact on them shifting to a more NCL elcentric position.
By doing that they have shifted a number of passengers to NCL, possibly artificially inflating the NCL ABZ.
