and then somebody to operate it?

[Jamesair1]

and what about the various ATR aircraft which come in various sizes?

Again, as well as the aircraft types that are available, who would operate them?

Of course it’s a double edged sword.


.the amount of money the mayor has spent(is spending)quite rightly, on the local rail network..lines,platforms,stations etc. count massively against the airport succeeding with a UK domestic air network?

That market is a tough one anyway..and when the railways get their act together then it becomes even tougher?

[SWBKCB]

Train not much use for Belfast or Dublin (though in my organisation, I had to but forward a business case for flying rather than surface transport... )

This is the third or forth attempt at trying to relaunch the D328. It was an expensive aircraft the first time round with few others than Scot Airways and Sun Air seemingly able to make it work for long periods of time. I wouldn’t pin my hopes on it.

Not sure, thought it may have been Bens mate who planned the air show parking. Think he runs the security as well

I thought the mayor might have had his photo taken next to the bowser

Avgas is now available again and the NOTAM removed as peace settled once more onto the Teesside - 2 thread.......................hurrah !

I agree, President Bush had a sandal thrown at him from memory.

Airport is in the news again. A lot of public comments again.

With four schedules today, the usual Amsterdam and Aberdeen. I wonder how the Spa,Duty Free and bars are managing to make money? Lots of other jobs up for grabs in the mayors Facebook page…does he know something we don’t?

Are they being subsidised by the owners (local tax payers) .

It makes you think….especially looking at Cardiff and Doncaster(sic) amongst others?

[Beafer]

The mayor has made the headlines again today after being mentioned in parliament!

Will there be an investigation into the deal which has handed over 90% of the land to the same people who he's involved with at the airport?

I wonder if they are all part of the same lodge fraternity?

Similar questions have been asked in respect of the delayed and over budget south side development that is now in the hands of the mayors donors.

Just a reminder that the Mayor's pot comes from Central govt not council tax, so not just local tax payers.

[highwideandugly]

Ok..using government pot…but surely better spent on other areas of Teesside? So ..tell me..local taxpayers aren’t suffering while a few thousand well healed get away to Alicante!

Two airports either side within 50 miles..reality needs to hit🤔

[N707ZS]

Alicante is not well healed tickets were £5.99 recently. 50 miles is 50 miles and an hour and a half.

By your logic both NCL and Leeds need to close and everything put in at Teesside, which owes less to tax payers than NCL but let's not talk about that!

[highwideandugly]

Respectfully suggest that Newcastle and Leeds economies and cities are a little way ahead of certain parts of Teesside!

Another 15 million gifted to the mayor for the hangers…he’s a good wheeler dealer methinks!

Wonder if the other airports countrywide could spin the same yarns to obtain development money for themselves?

I am in Scarborough, more or less equidistant from Leeds, Humberside and Teesside airports. We have always used Leeds since moving here nine years ago. However the journey to Leeds is ever longer and more congested, more than two hours last time. Last November Management used Teesside to fly back to the Netherlands with KLM. Lovely little airport, 90 mins. drive, easy access with great parking directly opposite the terminal and if you spend money on a cup of coffee, two hours parking is free. To us it's a 'no brainer' and we fly out again to the Netherlands next Wednesday... five days parking L30.

I would suggest NCL is a much more sustainable business than MME overall though,..
