Teesside-2
According to Ryanair's website, flights to Alicante on July 5 and 12, flights to Palma on July 6 and 13, and flights to Corfu on July 7 and July 14, will no longer operate.
A spokesperson for Teesside Airport said: “Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding international travel and the recent delay to lockdown easing, Ryanair has taken the decision to pause one flight on two routes – just six in total – and push back the launch of its Corfu route between the 1-15 July."

Given Palma is now green, this feels strange timing.
That said, I don’t know anyone going on holiday right now so would expect the flights running would be very lightly loaded.

and many are still scared of the list changing at short notice and either needing to quarantine for 10 days (or pay extra to cut it to 5) or having to book last minute expensive flights back to beat the change.

TEESSIDE Airport is to get an extra £10m as part of a ‘refresh’ of what the Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) spends its money on. TVCA said the cash would “enable the airport to stay on track for its recovery plan” after commercial revenues were hit by the covid-19 pandemic. The proposed move was defended by Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen who said the airport had “achieved much more and much faster in its turnaround over the past year” than what could have been expected.

Posting from anna.aero just now says 7% of UK flights have been cut for July in the last week (6,000 flights and 1.2 million seats) with BA, Ryanair, Jet2, easyJet and Virgin Atlantic in that order of cuts. So the cuts run far more widely than just MME.
That’s probably about the same (all in) as an ATCO or a Captain at Teesside would earn. It’s really not a lot. A decent business development person in the private sector would earn more than that. And what he seems to have accomplished is at or beyond that level.
