Benji will get in again..no doubt!
Meanwhile back at the ‘drome’. 3 scheduled departures today…. 18 over previous 5 days…3 ish per day.
How on earth is the airport making any money..especially the concessions in the terminal?
I’m sorry..it must be massive subsidies?

If you want to see the subsidies check the accounts for the losses.
There are airports out there that make money without schedule services or very few, why can't Teesside moving forward?

Always have changed per hour and per customer. MAN-ALC tomorrow was £140ish last night but now £175 on same phone but only £160 on second phone yet Harrold was quoted £188. From experience, if lots of seats available price will drop tonight.
Have booked many low cost flights at last minute at much lower price than amount quoted a couple of weeks earlier but most dont want to take the risk of selling out and probably not from MME where there is less competition.
Same goes for hotels and car hire deals.

The mayor, today, posted on Facebook and Instagram his big airport pre election update
claiming overwhelming success including the fact that the airport is bursting with jobs and investments, just a little over the top....he also claimed massive Willis investment and that they already have 100 current employees , more likely a whole lot less, and delivering cargo flights, that the new £200 million business park is now open, with many more units coming, and of course if he's elected Malaga and Tenerife flights, it was expected that he would make a big airport update/promotion, but I thought it e be a little nearer to the election date , so maybe they'll be another even more OTT media post next month

Do rules of purdah apply to mayoral elections as they do for parliamentary elections?
If they do, then at some point he will be bound by them and not allowed to use the Airport as a good news platform (e.g. announcing new routes for political advantage).

On the centre line... plans in the pipeline up the road in Urlay Nook. Will he buy the airport off Benny, as he already owns one in Germany.

Those who follow the mayor's facebook page would be forgiven for thinking that the business park had tenants providing jobs and income, that the freight centre was actually handling goods, that Wiilis are building a village and that there is an ever increasing number of passenger flights. He claims to be "AHEAD" (he used capitals) of the 10 year plan but we must thank Harrold for exposing the scandal of the plan being secretly rewritten with no anouncement from what was initially announced or even mentioned on his social media.

You might be surprised that in the Business World that every company updates their Business Plan either every year/ every couple of years. There is no difference what goes on here at the airport. It is a necessity of businesses to keep reviewing their plans. Does every company make a song and dance of their business plans. You'll find that companies issue business plan developments information within press releases when they report on something.
So you will find that information about updates have been given out over the past couple of years.
But since you don't look into anything, you just go off peoples opinions (that is in your own words). Then it comes as no surprise to you to think everything is shrouded in secrecy when you miss out on info that has been put into the public domain just because you can't be bothered to look/ do your own research.
Do us all a favour and actually do some research of your own before making comments that infuriate/ wind up people. Instead of relying on opinions from people and making your assumptions based on other peoples opinions rather than your own research.
