That photo listing Teesside as a Wizz destination was posted to another group and the Mayor replied with "News to me!". If it was still happening, I would have expected "Watch this space" or similar.
You'd be amazed if Wizz weren't at the very top of the list of the people they've been talking to, but I thought the announcement of the WizzUK base at DSA was a bit too close for comfort.

I wouldn't say that WizzUK having their base in Doncaster would be much of a problem. If in fact it might be beneficial in some ways, especially when it comes to rejigging aircraft diagrams that can just pop one up the road if required. Or if a problem and can fit both Tees & Donny loads onto one aircraft they could drop into/ out of Tees or Donny on their way over to Europe.

Once again do the people of Tees Valley know about flight destinations from MME! It's not that long ago that Jet2 had adverts plastered on the side of buses in and about Teesside. Apart from the airport web site what advertising has been done to attract passengers to use the airport? Most travel agents seem to direct people towards NCL or LBA, commission incentives!!!

It's not commission incentives - it's the operators. As a travel agent myself, we no longer use Ryanair as they have, throughout the pandemic, been an absolute nightmare. Then the other operator, Tui, do not play ball with non Tui agents from a pricing perspective (had an enquiry yesterday where if I was to match the direct price web price I would have lost £90 - impossible).
Jet2 on the other hand are very trade friendly, and in my case account for around 80% of our bucket and spade business - hence the shift to NCL/LBA

A landside to airside door was installed. Inside there seems to be a large x-ray machine and the airside doors have been fixed so that only a new roller door can be used.
"Major Airshow Returning to Teesside Airport this June" announcement in the Northern Echo

We were expecting an announcement about flights, passenger or cargo but instead the Air Show has been re-incarnated after being told the airport will be too busy for that sort of thing in previous years. And yes I do know something is better than nothing.
Visitors to an air show run by a third party with proceeds given to a charity run by the airport. I would rather have flights to anywhere week in week out just like they have at every successful airport.

Draken is to expand operations at Teesside.
Job adverts for Fast Jet L159 Captain.
It is expected a number of L159's are going to be based at Teesside alongside the Falcons.

Mr Forster told committee members how the airport now had a “very good route mix” with hopes KLM will bring three flights a day from Amsterdam in April. He added: “The Britsh Airways code-share with Heathrow is working very well. The numbers are starting to really go well on that. The forward bookings across the board are doing well.” The airport boss said there’d been good uptake on bookings for TUI flights to Antalya, in Turkey, from May, and routes to Majorca. And he added they were “having a number of exciting conversations” with new airlines.
He added there was a “big push” on the wider airport estate - saying there were freight and cargo ambitions and work was continuing on the airport’s “South Side”. Mr Forster said: “There are Amazon warehouses going up left right and centre and we’ve got to capitalise on it.”
There were 5,348 passengers in October last year out of a total of around 13,900 available seats on flights. November saw 3,335 passengers out of a maximum number of 7,604 seats and December saw 2,696 passengers out of a total of 7,422 seats on flights.

The advert only live on the 13th Jan for a Fast Jet Captain. Today or past day or so the advert has changed to say L159 Captain. I don't think there will be a full public announcement about it all until they are ready to start the contract or when the first aircraft arrives at Teesside.
