Not a training base as such, its just the right conditions and a suitable place to do it. Base Training as its known (circuits) for new pilots is generally determined where it will take place on the morning its self. Favourite places are usually somewhere with a decent runway, not too much traffic and benign weather. Usual favorites are Teesside, Prestwick, Doncaster, Newquay etc. If the weather isnt suitable at one place, they will go else where. My own base training was planned to take place at East Midlands but due to weather we ended up doing it at Shannon. My colleagues ended up doing theirs at Ostend. Basically, it can vary day to day.

Great news.
I haven’t seen any Newquay Eastern movements recently or Loganair Jersey. Are these still running or planned?
With all the obvious caveats, any update on Alba and BH?

Looks like Eastern to Southampton is now pushed back to 19th July - possibly after the delaying of easing restrictions? Still looks a bit strange to me to have a J41 based to fly to Southampton once a day?
Loganair to Jersey starts on 26th June - Eastern to Jersey has been running a couple of weeks on the ATR - again a bit strange as this becomes a Teesside originating flight from Saturday leaving at 10am - MME>JER>HUY>JER>MME, so the ATR must position in and out at some point.
Not sure about Alba but Balkan Holidays have cancelled all holidays up until 31st July.

Surprise, surprise - the growing pains start

Teesside International Airport has scrapped its controversial £6 passenger tax - but introduced new drop-off fees in the same month.
But in the same month the Passenger Facility Fee was axed, the airport is now charging people £2.50 for drop-offs up to 15 minutes, £5 for 15 to 60 minutes and £7 an hour thereafter.

"the growing pains start"...
Well perhaps or possibly political sleight of hand by a certain skillful Mr H when running for the Mayor`s office & fulfilling an earlier promise" to RYR into the bargain.
Certainly the changed structuring serves to keep RYR even happier together with taxpayers funding the airport too = a win win for them...Only right the good burghers of the area contribute something to the general fund after all.

But confirming that prices would remain the same at Teesside Airport, Mr Houchen said: “We have no plans to increase our car parking charges and Teesside Airport currently offers some of the most competitive charges in the country. Advance booking online means airport users can also save even more than if they were to pay on the day. I am proud to continue to offer visitors three hours of free parking, giving them a great incentive to use their local airport.
A spokesperson for Teesside Airport said such measures had been taken to stop drivers taking "unnecessary" risks, using the kerbside as an unofficial drop-off point. They said: “The safety of our passengers is our number one priority. To prevent any motorists or individuals taking unnecessary risks when visiting the airport, we have placed cones alongside the road to prevent kerbside drop-offs and any accidents that may arise from this."

May CAA stats:
Terminal passengers: 3,216 - down 77% v May 2019 (no passengers in May 2020). This was the best month for passengers since March 2020.
Loads per flight were probably something like:
Terminal passengers: 3,216 - down 77% v May 2019 (no passengers in May 2020). This was the best month for passengers since March 2020.
- Aberdeen: 1,743 (up 4% on May 2019)
- Heathrow: 627
- Belfast City: 361
- Bristol: 36
- Newquay: 347
- Jersey: 40
- Exeter: 29
Loads per flight were probably something like:
- Aberdeen: 18.3 plus transit passengers (was 15.3 in April)
- Heathrow: 6.4 (3.3 in April - anecdotally the early flight down and the late flight back sell much better than the morning return and the evening outbound. Hopefully the codeshare will boost numbers)
- Belfast City: 9.5 (5.4 in April)
- Bristol: 4.9 (commenced 24 May)
- Newquay: 12.4 (commenced 9 May)
- Jersey: 20.0 (more likely 40 if you assume there was no-one on the initial return flight from JER)
Those figures are interesting.lAberdeen to be expected?
Heathrow 6 passengers per flight.. wonder what the break even is on an EMB. If Loganair are covering all of the costs then they must have rather deep pockets?
Wonder if the resumption of KLM will also have a detrimental effect?
