Ryanair also cancelling Alicante for January into February..According to Facebook.

Fares at £4.99 would indicate why!
Mayor is going to need an extension to his deep pockets possibly😀😀

When Ryanair is announcing a 1/3rd network cut in its January schedules and traffic well down, it's difficult to see why anyone should think this is unique to Teesside or that it should somehow defy gravity when nowhere else can?

Correndon Airways might be a good bet, believe the owner is a Turk.

Maybe because nobody is investing like MME - including a duty free shop and a spa that had been previously announced were due to open before the end of 2021, when realistically their main hope of customers before the summer kicks in was the bi-weekly Alicante.

From the press release on the airport website

Teesside International Airport’s first duty-free shop in eight years has today (21 December) welcomed its first customers.
And then there is this bit

The store, part of the airport terminal’s multimillion-pound redevelopment, threw open its doors ahead this afternoon’s flights to London Heathrow and Aberdeen, with passengers flocking in to check out its great value products.

Great timing..a. Distinct lack of international flights me thinks? With KLM and Ryanair retreating…business could be somewhat slow?

Just because it's a duty free shop doesn't mean they only sell to international passengers!
Really it's a shop that takes the duty off for those travelling out of the UK!

Yes, the occupants of two Loganair Embraers flocked in yesterday. From tiny acorns, I suppose...

This is not much to do with UK restrictions, but more because of the Dutch restrictions. I think their restrictions runs til end of January at earliest. But is a fluid situation.

So if the Dutch open their border restrictions and UK doesn't have any hard restrictions in place it could allow operations and movements to be made sooner.

I'm suprised that there has been no announcements about cargo flights having already started. Don't have to say what or where, but could have just said the first cargo flight has departed for an international customer. Unless they are waiting with announcements for a regular cargo run to start operating.

What other freight flights have there been apart from the Brazilian?

None and the Brazilian didn't actually use the hangar building.

It all still counts on the CAA cargo tonnage figures for the airport.

Will be interesting to see if the cargo is recorded on the CAA cargo figures for the airport as some past military freight wasn't disclosed.

I've got a feeling that non-commercial flights aren't included as well.

While on the subject of H3, the switch between hangars 1 and 2 needed 'change of use' planning permission, but nothing for H3?

CAA January - October figures 2021 for Teesside.

Terminal Passengers 59,394
Transit Passengers 6,369

Rolling Passenger Numbers for the year: 61,338

So going off the monthly figures they are collected by public services and charter flights. So that leaves 1,944 other passengers, I would presume that this figure includes business jets etc. This figure would include the Prime Minister Boris Johnson's multiple appearences this year at the airport and royalty.

Have you checked both councils, Darlington and Stockton. They didn't apply for functions in hangar 1 either.
