There's another Houchen inspired charity, it's called
Teesworks Benevolent Foundation
It was incorporated a few weeks ago. !?
And Houchen said that Airborne Colours are being a new tenant for the new hangar, that would indicate that Airborne have not paid for the hangar, guess who has.?

In my limited experience of commercial property, it would be more of a shock if a tenant had actually paid for the construction of the property they were moving in to.

New hangar space at Teesside Airport is critical to landing new investment that’ll bring our airport back to profit and create good-quality jobs for local people. We’ve got the cash from Government to get this done and are now delivering new opportunities for our great businesses.”

Houchen stated on the 12th January, the following
Airbourne Colours is Europe’s only privately-owned aircraft painting company, with only one other competitor in the UK and is investing £6.5million in the establishment of a base on Teesside.
Which incorrectly suggests that Airborne are the investor, clearly not the £6.5 m would be the correct sort of cost of both hangers, he is very good at issuing misleading info, if you read this as a normal member of the public what would you think ?

Earlier in the day, Lord Houchen had accused his Labour rival of having supported previous plans to build housing on the Teesside Airport site and later the closure of the airport. Outside the football stadium, a group of protesters displayed a banner reading ‘Stop Peel’s Candidate’ – in reference to former airport owners Peel.
The mayor claimed that Mr McEwan was “responsible for supporting Peel and proposing to build 350 houses on the airport”, which he called “an act of vandalism that would have meant the end of Teesside Airport all together”. However, the Labour candidate reiterated his backing for the airport on Friday.
He said: “My position, which I have had for about four years, is that everybody wants an airport, we have a 10-year plan, I back that plan. We are five years in and I would like to know where we are with that plan, both as a mayoral candidate and a deputy leader of a council.”
He added: “How can I help an organisation if they are not open and transparent? I want to do what I can to help the airport. Any rhetoric or language around my views on the airport... it needs to be what is coming out of my mouth - which is that I want to, I will support the airport.”

Lord H has attempted to criticise Labour candidate for previously supporting the Peel airport development plan that including the building of 350 houses to provide funding for the development of the airport as an airport. He completely missed the point that the plan was to fund the development of the airport, not close it, thus reafirming that his (and others) claim that the airport would close and become a housing estate are not true, although he has also accepted that in discussions.
Having not made reference to the Willis village for months he has introduced this development again. Not clear if this is just electioneering or have Willis changed their mind again and decided to go ahead afterall?
Interesting that comments highlighting his error appear to have been removed so are we back to the days when critics get blocked I wonder?

TUI/Ryanair ‘merger’….
My way of thinking is..it shares the risk factor at marginal airports?
Therefore unlikely..for instance that TUI would put a dedicated flight on to a Ryanair destination..and conversely of course.
So I would guess for airports like Teesside that will mean no new flights or destinations for the foreseeable future unless Ben comes up with even more massive subsidies?

I think a normal person would assume that if a company like this was moving into a leased building, their publicised investment would be for the machinery, IT, office fit out, signage and other things to set up a functional painting operation. Of course the £6.5m could be stretched to include the rent and rates paid over the lease period (as that is a commitment from the tenant) but that would be a bit cheeky (although probably justifiable for a politician).

I thought they'd got government funding for two hangars, but this article (and others) only mentions one:
https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/ne...middlesbrough/
A further £7m will be spent on a new hangar and infrastructure at Teesside Airport. Mr Houchen continued: “An extra £7million for a hangar at Teesside Airport is another big win which will allow the airport to bring in new investment and supercharge our Freeport vision.
The planning application is for two hangars
23/00694/FUL - Erection of 2 no. narrowbody aircraft hangars for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) use, supporting airfield apron and aircraft manoeuvring areas, repositioning of the airside fence, carparking, associated infrastructure including new access road to the airport train station, and landscaping works
