Teesside-2

[N707ZS]

Teesside took two 741s from LHR and the staff then did a fantastic job, even managed to get an HST from the main line to come to the airport station. Other than that, it used to be F 27s from Leeds and the occasional Ba 1-11 from Newcastle.

HST ? Read Inter City 125 😀. Did that actually happen? Interesting scheduling by British Rail if true..couldn’t see it happening these days!

Just seen a post on Ben Houchen's FB page saying that Serco have signed a 10-year deal for the International Fire Training Centre (IFTC); the deal safeguards more than 50 good-quality, well paid jobs for local people and it brings significant money into the airport.

Only 42 pax in the past YEAR. Wonder how many were actually using the station for flying purposes? Unless they'd Google Earthed it beforehand it must have come as a shock how far they had to walk.

[davidjohnson6]

With 42 pax per year, that allows those with niche interests to significantly boost the numbers. People like this, who go out of their way to visit stations with very little service

The railway station has been closed for most of this year. Before then it only had one service a week on a Sunday with the Hartlepool - Darlington train.

Looks like the first cargo flight has landed a Cessna 406.

[The Flying Stool]

Not much cargo on an F406. It's load could be put in the back of a transit van.

[N707ZS]

Pre Covid they were quite regular on car spares flights, so nothing new really.

I do hope the Mayor was on site to aid the offload and perhapa get a selfie.

Grin like a Cheshire cat.

From MME's FB page - you on commission 'ZS?

FIRST FREIGHT LANDS AT TEESSIDE
The first freight delivery arrived at Teesside Airport last week
It contained car parts for a well-known North East automotive manufacturer
The team received the call at short notice but were on hand at the new £2.5m cargo handling facility to handle the shipment and it was from the runway to highway in a matter of minutes

[highwideandugly]

Looked about 250kgs in the picture…good speculative outlay ? …as it probably would have come anyway without the £2.5 million spent.

Worked though, as looks like the next one is into Newcastle in an hour or so 🤪

It would have been even quicker if Nissan hadn't built over the runway at sunderland.

Certainly did with another due in to Teesside from Gyor-Per tomorrow…

Looks like the fog is having the last laugh.

This freight just used to go on stand 5R and straight into a van so no use for the cargo shed.

[Cautious Optimist]

When these series of flights happen they're always 50/50 split between us and NCL, you'd think they'd do a deal with one or the other
