It sounds like the needle has got stuck on this thread, so many people with a political agenda. You have made your point, let's move on and hope airports in general begin to thrive again.

I don't think there's any other airport on the thread that is actually such a "political" football

So two Jetstream charters counts as "real airport news"? Doubt they'd raise an eyebrow on any of the other airport threads here. If that's the sort of news you are after, the "Teesside Movements" website really is an excellent resource.

Meanwhile, the airport being used as taxpayer funded vote-catcher for the third election in a row by a Mayor whose management approach fails to "meet standards expected when managing public funds" isn't a worthy subject for discussion? Funny old world.

Hey-ho!

Quote from the well respected Carlisle press today !….
Teesside lost 2.2 million quid last year, to go with previous losses of up to 9 million per year. And it does have proper flights, just not very many. It's losing over 6,000 a day, every day. Four quid every minute of every day of the year. It's lost twenty quid while I've been typing this.

No idea where this came from..but interesting non the less!….Going to be an interesting few months pre elections!

At least he has worked to keep the airport open which is more than can be said for his political opponents

Elections are funny things. Maybe the Huchen haters on here will get their wish and he'll be out - and MME will be too. Make a nice new urban village?

Why all the scare stories about housing? Lots of contaminated land and other impediments (go and look as to why it would have been so difficult to move the fire school).

If I were wanting MME to stay open I'd concentrate on the first part of my post. The second bit - a flippant throwaway. Sorry.
Begs the question though,- if Huchen out what happens to the airfield then.

Remediating contaminated industrial land is quite a specialist job - anybody got mates who know anything about it?

Houchen haters? Ah yes, people who expect honesty and transparency from our politicians.
Sadly, Lord H has turned himself into such a toxic character who is now constantly the subject of ridicule that we are probably at the stage where there is more chance of growth and the airport becoming viable with a new and more respected leader at the helm.
By the way, the close the airport and build houses on the runway was all made up. Dont fall for the BS.
