February CAA stats:
Terminal passengers: 5,346 (compared to 2,882 last month, 1,172 passengers in Feb 2021 and 10,450 in Feb 2020)
Numbers well up on a very poor January and up against the covid impact in Feb 2021. Whilst overall passenger numbers are still nowhere near pre-covid levels, this is primarily down to the number of rotations as loads are reasonably strong. Heathrow (one flight a day) averaged 17.8 pax per flight (best month yet), Belfast 21.5 (again the best month yet), Amsterdam 43.6 (best month since Feb 2020) and Aberdeen was 17.6 (in line with recent levels and very strong in historic terms).
Don’t read too much into Alicante being well up on the previous month as Ryanair only ran 4 flights in January. February load of 131 pax was 69% compared to 78% on the rest of their network.
So some green shoots here, just need Loganair and KLM to keep to their planned schedule increases.

Will be interesting to see if the L-159s become UK registered or kept upon the N American register. And are they solely based at Teesside or shared with Bournemouth as the Da 20s are.
The airport doesn't seem to have any plans to increase parking with a possibility of 8 L-159s and any new airline traffic or maintenance traffic. On a good day the shooting season can produce up to six aircraft.

Ga sadly, in the eyes of the powers, contribute very little to the master plan unfortunately!
But looking at the latest financial figures published..any revenue is welcome?
Any update on the Fire School…?

Accounts for the airport show that just 14,521 people used Teesside as it made an operating loss of £13.4m in the year to the end of March 2021. Turnover fell 39% to £4.8m, from £7.7m in what director Phil Forster described as a “devastating” time for the aviation industry.
During the year, the airport incurred costs of £2.73m relating to the termination of contracts. It was the same period in which airport operator Esken - then called Stobart Group - exited its role and transferred its 25% stake in the airport to a new charitable foundation, for a nominal consideration.

Royal Air Force fighter pilots will face a new adversary when conducting combat training following the signing of a contract for the interim provision of a Red Air ‘aggressor’ service. Known as the Interim Red Air Aggressor Training Service (IRAATS), from the 1st July the six-year contract with Draken Europe will see RAF fighter squadrons conduct training against fighter jets replicating the tactics, techniques and procedures of potential adversaries. The new service will use the L-159E Honey Badger, a military aircraft to be flown to military standards by experienced ex-military fast jet pilots regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority.
The contract was placed on the 28th March 2022 and is for three years (1st July 2022 to 30th June 2025), with options for up to a further three years. The contract will create up to 28 additional jobs in the aviation industry and contribute towards the development of Teesside International Airport where the L-159Es will be collocated with Draken’s existing DA20 Falcon aircraft fleet.

Excellent news but on the subject of military contracts I'm surprised nobody posted about the Black Hawk bid that came out last month, I mean, to me that piece of news was made for this forum!!!
You would have though Beafer would have got his teeth into it. If you look into the Black Hawk bid it does have a serious company with directors and an office at the airport.
Still barking up the wrong thread, this one.
