Teesside-2
Lots of industrial connections between the two areas, but we're not exactly talking big numbers here. You're only filling up the empty seats on a 145, and LM are already flying MME-ABZ and ABZ-EBJ. Why not tweak the schedule and fill a couple more seats?
Kay Ryan, Loganair’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We already operate a direct service from Aberdeen to Esbjerg on a Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so it made sense to alter timings where we could allow this easy connection for passengers south of the border.

Offshore industry customer has probably indicated a need and the rest is positioning/infill. Anyone else booking a ticket is bascially topping up numbers. Would have thought HUY or NWI more useful than MME but who knows.

P330 you Coward! Not sure how well that will do? Current Shops are not having much footfall at moment…Think Airport needs more than 5/6 schedules per day to generate revenue?
I suppose month on month figures will tell the story..

Think a few heads need steaming to try and get a clearer view of what direction they are going in. Presume the mayor will have a free pass to get his face fixed before all of his photo shoots.

So much negativity!
This is Duncan Bannatyne, he knows how to make money! So he must see some worth in opening at the airport.
I wonder how many who comment/complain on here are millionaires? It certainly isn't a vanity project from the mayor!
If it doesn't work well it doesn't work, but it may bring some cash into the airports coffers!

Whilst I fully agree with Onion, at the same time how many leisure passengers will realistically wait until they're at the airport to get all of that stuff done?
Especially if given a big financial incentive to open it by the airport. He will walk away when it starts costing him money.
The term ‘lipstick on a pig’ springs to mind on this one.

I used to work with a woman who said "The holiday hasn't started till I've bought a handbag..." and only be half joking, so if it gets well known I can see this becoming part of the holiday experience. I agree that Bannatyne is no mug and the airport is to be applauded for being innovative and supporting local businesses but like others I'd worry about the number of customers - not seen it mentioned, but wonder if they are offering free-parking to customers like some of the other outlets. That might attract non-travellers into the airport (we've all heard of "the airport as shopping mall" idea!

Ryanair on sale - looks the same as this year, so far. Weren't all of these on sale already, except maybe Corfu?
