Teesside-2
Not sure how this fits into ‘World wide connectivity “ that Benji promised….methinks definitely a bit of electioneering going on!
But it keeps the airport going..all being at tax payers expense while the credit remains with him alone?

"I'm not the only one. It doesn't take a genius to work it out".
So can you point us to another beleivable and authoritative source that has explained that MME cannot have the promissed additional routes and flights because of the issues at Boeing please?

Err, Ryanair last year said that expansion plans were being hampered by delays in new aircraft deliveries from Boeing.
Can't get a much better source than from the airline itself.

As ever folks, there are likely two truths!
Harold is 100% right about delayed aircraft. That very well could be the reason. It could also be extremely likely that MME are bottom of the pile meaning what scarce resources there are will be sent elsewhere. I would certainly assume MME is not one of the top performing routes (assume).

Ryanair have anounced several dozen new routes this Winter including 12 flights per week from Norwich, despite the Beoing issues. Kind of undermines the excuse that Harold has constructed but guess that's fine if he thinks that is being positive and somehow helps the airport.

Lots more aircraft might mean MME gets a couple more routes, it also might not. But given that they are expanding elsewhere, clearly MME is not a priority and therefore doesn’t bode so well for their longevity at MME, particularly if Houchen does get the boot next time and/or Labour win the next GE and start asking more questions…

I’ll get my coat after this because it’s likely irrelevant, but who is to say AGP and TFS will be on Ryanair?
TUI?
Spanish Operator?
Wizz?
Easyjet?
All unlikely…..but….

From the article the other day from one of the bosses at Ryanair on its allocation.
Mr McGuinness said: “We’re working closely with some of these small regional UK airports, the likes of Norwich, Exeter, Teesside.
“But to be honest, they’re at an enormous disadvantage now versus their European competitors.
“We allocate capacity based on one metric only – that’s cost.
“We’ve done long-term deals with the likes of Dubrovnik and Tangier, our two new bases."
Mr McGuiness added: “Do we put capacity into those bases or do we put capacity into somewhere like Exeter or Teesside where we have the £13 departure penalty on those passengers?
“The answer is clear, we’re not going to do that because we are quite sensible in the way we allocate capacity.
“London will be always fine, but where UK APD is doing untold damage is to the regional UK airports.
“I think that’s going to get worse over the next number of years, predominantly because European airports are becoming significantly more competitive.”
So with them sort of views from Ryanair although I'm sure it's politically aimed, the likes of Teesside are having to do very lucrative deals for Ryanair. And I'm sure it will be the same if Mr Major wants Malaga and TFS.

Tees Valley Mayor, Ben Houchen, said, “Teesside Airport today is unrecognisable from the airport we saved from Peel’s destruction back in 2019. We have worked tirelessly to turn things around and in a short space of time we have seen massive progress. We have seen holiday flights to Spain, Greece, Portugal, and Turkey return, alongside the complete transformation of the terminal. Our plan is ahead of schedule, we are seeing record passenger numbers, and now is the time to increase our offer to local people further. That is why, if re-elected, I will bring flights to Malaga and Tenerife to our airport. Whilst my Labour opposition wanted to close the airport and sell it off for housing, I want to make sure more people can visit more Poolside destinations from Teesside. That’s my promise, and that’s what I will deliver, just as I delivered on my pledge to save the airport.”

So is the mayor saying that Ryanair's business model is that that they will only introduce new routes at MME if he is reelected? Alternatively, has he done another deal with Ryanair that involves a taxpayer subsidy and perhaps an extension of the no completion arrangement? Seems very odd.
