June CAA stats:

Terminal passengers: 20,775
  • 19% up on last month
  • 122% up on June 2021
  • 38% on June 2019 (pre covid)
  • Best month for passenger traffic since October 2010.

Individual routes:
  • Aberdeen: 2,098 (up 17% v May but down 16% v June 2021)
  • Belfast City: 733 (down 5% v May and down 11% v June 2021)
  • Jersey: 532 (up 158% v May and up 6% v June 2021)
  • Newquay: 209 (up 53% v May but down 42% v June 2021)
  • Alicante: 2,777 (down 4% v May and up 370% v June 2021)
  • Amsterdam: 5.139 (up 37% v May, only 50 pax in June 2021)
  • Burgas: 802 (up 237% v May, no flights in June 2021)
  • Corfu: 1,130 (no flights in May or in June 2021)
  • Dublin: 228 (up 338% v May, no flights in June 2021)
  • Faro: 2,886 (up 23% v May, no flights in June 2021)
  • Palma: 4,049 (up 15% v May, only 279 pax in June 2021)
Plus charter to Lourdes (188).

Aberdeen is doing really well with average loads of 23.8 and this is the best single operator month on the route since March 2016. Belfast was down a bit but this is more down to fewer rotations than anything else. 26 passengers on the Newquay flight is probably as high as it is going to go given that there is only 1 flight a week which rules out anyone who wants to go for a long weekend break. Jersey is

Amsterdam loads of 61.4 would still have been decent in pre-covid times good but the schedule is still only around 50% of what is was in 2019. Bourgas was poor at 802 passengers, especially as I reckon there were 12 rotations in June and speculation is that holidaymakers concerned about travel to the area given the proximity to the situation in Ukraine. Overall passengers on Alicante were down sightly due to fewer rotations but loads on that route(174), Corfu (141), Faro (160) and Palma (160) are all the best since Ryanair returned to Teesside. TUI appear to have done better than Ryanair on Palma with loads of 186 which implies only 3 spare seats on every flight and must be encouraging for next year.

Apologies, spotter geek question. Is the Blue Islands ATR still on site or has it been scrapped yet?

If you are lucky the landside door on hangar 2 is open during working hours, so it should be visible.

Some excellent loads on the sun routes. Let’s hope Turkey arrives as planned next year and more routes added. Bulgaria a concern though.

Bulgaria is frustrating but at least if we were to lose it we can pinpoint an external factor that's completely out of our control as the reason (if I was a betting man I'd go with a reduced 1x weekly limited series between late July - end of August for next year)

Assuming that external factor has had a similar impact elsewhere?

If Bulgaria was suffering they would have doubled it up with another location. Recently observed a Doncaster to Humberside pick up.
It has recently been mention the conflict in Ukraine has affected bucking's, but how many would look at the surrounding location before booking when dealing with bucket, beer and spade holiday's.

A warning to visitors in cars. From the 15th of August the airport has declared war on motorist with permits being required to park on airport land. If you don't go into the carpark. It is presumed a jobsworth is to be employed to enforce this.

My one and only visit to Teesside was back in 2010 during which I was shouted at by a jobsworth whilst taking a photo, even though I was in the car park at the time. I swore then that I would never return. This shows that the culture at Teeside has not changed and just reinforces my decision.

I still don’t think £2.50 is a lot compared to other airports, & you get it back if you use the cafe/sky bar we all want a successful airport & if my £2,50 keeps it going then fine by me !

Yep, MME had its fair share of jobsworths back in the day. There were also several security staff who used to be very rude and standoffish to flight crew. No idea why? Never had that problem anywhere else.

There has been extensive 'regime change' at MME since 2010, and reports of pax through the terminal have been nothing but positive this summer.

From what I've heard the new parking regime seems to be aimed at the 'backwater' areas of the airport and not just the terminal and the approach roads. And whats all the talk of jobsworths being used to monitor the new parking restrictions , surely these will be 'good-quality, well-paid jobs for local people'? Hopefully all the many coloured parking signs were produced locally as well, so another boost to the local economy.

The new signs state "Private land" but we thought it was a publicly owned airport. If you own a flying club or GA aircraft its presumed you now will need a permit for every visitor.

A more important subject. I happened to make a rare visit to Stockton town centre and noticed the prominent Dawson and Sanderson's travel agents didn't have a single flight from Teesside and if you go to they're website Teesside doesn't exist!

The above travel agent has always tried to sell flights from Newcastle rather than Teesside, maybe an incentive to do so.

Not looked beyond the first page of the website, but the only departure airports offered are those used by Jet2. Which tour operators apart from TUI and Balkan are available from Teesside? Does anybody use Ryanair?

Just got back from Belfast, & chatting to a couple from Northallerton who were flying into Leeds as they didn’t know Teesside had a link! The advertising of these routes is a disgrace!

To be fair no airline advertises much about routes on blazing big bill boards or tv like they did many years ago

Customers have a bit of responsibility to see where they can go from their local airport as well by checking the website etc
