I get that but the recurring (hamsterwheel) is the "The mayor's a crook" or otherwise which reads me like a "Durham Politics" thread than an aviation / airport related one.
The argument quite rightly goes along the lines of "if you aren't interested then don't read it" but the soap opera is well worth dipping into occasionally, in the almost forlorn hope that some real interesting news will surface with regard to development of aviation related business at the airport.

Was talking to someone within the industry today and they said they were hoping to hear of new routes soon - (whether that is the Malaga/Tenerife as promised by the mayor or something else - I don't know).
I wonder at what point the Eastern performance at MME will become newsworthy or start affecting confidence/loads?

Calling out inaccuracies of articles that was made by a political party activist because they don't like the Mayor's party was required, hence my comments on their thread.
I am a political neutral, but if things that are said that need calling out on any side, then I'll call them out.
As for no mention of Teesside in Esken's accounts. Teesside was featured in the Accounts of Southend Airport.
You can decipher reasoning from how articles and press releases are made, plus what headlines are made and own research. As which some have pointed out above.
Also there were mentions in comments on social media.
But if you don't look, you don't see and find out things.
It is easy to find things if you look for yourself.
Just like yourself Grumpy, I called out your comments over the years. What was it you were shouting and dancing from the rooftops all last year. Oh yes, "the airport was losing more than a million pounds a month" when clearly it wasn't and when the figures came out proved my point it was no where near losing over a million pounds a month. So you needed calling out back then.
It's not rocket science to see how the airport is performing. You can calculate a fair chunk of stuff as it is in the public domain, so you can get a good idea of where the airport is at and how it is doing.

Moving forward…notice the airport technically closed tonight for high power engine runs..Been a few times recently (inc. an unanticipated closure due damage to airfield lighting)
How .
I wonder does this fit in with an operational airport…available at all times..to all traffic? Or will someone have to take a back seat?

There is a jet blast test facility being built. So there will be an area away from the runway to perform engine runs in the future.

That is certainly going to help things along with traffic levels increasing, as no need to back track down runway first.

Malaga and Tenerife are certainly on the cards. There are more irons in the fire just waiting to be pulled out and may be a few surprises. Clues are out there if know where and how to look. It is a jack in the box moment, you wind the key and wait for it to spring out the box.
Based on what the mayor has been repeating I think we know that a deal has probably been done for Malaga and Tenerife but does anybody seriously believe that the airline will walk away if we dont vote for Ben unless there is another of his secret subsidies.
Lost count of how many times Harrold has told us that the clues are out there and we should expect a surprise if you know how to look but then nothing happens, so go on, stick your neck out, tell us all what the clues actually are and how we should be looking please???

Grumpy, you say you never have time to look at things, so what's the point. You don't seem to be able to do cryptic or riddles either.
It is a case of having wide eyes and ears, scanning allsorts of areas for information. There is no one stop shop provision of information but a gathering of information and able to see patterns emerge. If you know how to find the signals you can piece together information from various sources and work out what is coming up. Even looking and watching peoples body language and facial expressions can give lots of information without saying what they are hiding. Add that to all snippets of information and you find the plan. There's many ways to be able to gain information.
But you want the information yesterday instead of being patient and waiting for it to be disclosed.
Some snippets have been disclosed from various sources but you have dismissed them because it is not all the info mentioned at once so must be making things up. Some things are in plane sight, whilst some stuff is cryptic. It is knowing how to piece together the bits.

Largest I ve seen round there were DC9s, F100s 737-500s and occasionally a herc.

Harold..I’m sure this is your cut and paste from the previous two years ?
It’s no secret that benji has been after a Malaga for sometime..so will be no big surprise when it’s announced twice a week next summer.
Wonder how much the resurfacing is costing and which budget that will come out of?
I agree with Onion..needed to be a bit wider and maybe stronger to be of significant use.

Harold, I think you get a hard time in here an Di generally enjoy your posts but post like that one do you absolutely no favours. It's almost a carbon copy of a post from a year ago and nothing has been announced since.
Seems certain Tenerife and Malaga to be added next summer - but from what I can see not too many hints on anything else. Unless you count Ben replying to every comment on Facebook requesting flights.

Reading the comment on the Teesside movements website, the primary purpose of the work is to give access to the new Airbourne Colours hangar, with any additional benefit to the rest of the airport a bonus.

Yes but if that is to give access to that hangar that really restricts the aircraft that can use that hangar, I maybe wrong but in all my time I ve never seen anything bigger than a 737-500 go round there. If you want access to there for A320s etc is where the redesignation to a 'taxilane' comes in?
