I believe, and I haven't read them at length, that they are charges on the airfield/land which if the company goes under owning money as the lender the aforementioned company receives the assets.
Fixed and floating charges put them at the top of the list of creditors.
Basically put the land is still owned by the Tees Valley Mayoral office.

My reading of the situation (and I maybe wrong) is the aircraft was end of the lease with the operator. Willis have bought it for initial storage (probably initial because currently got a busy schedule) but will eventually scrap the aircraft. I think she is 23 years old so probably end of life…..

YR-ADI

The airframe history on Planespotters.net implies that the aircraft has been owned by Willis Lease since 2019 and then leased to Aerro Direkt in 2021, who then sub-leased it to Air Moldova.

My suggestion of scrapping maybe wrong then - apologies.

Mayor election time.

Mayor and airport get a mentioned in the Gazette. He's standing for the friend of a friend party again.
The public comments say it all.

Things may change for his friends companies if he doesn't get the vote. The clock is ticking.

The problem is a very small amount of people vote in the mayoral election so he's probably going to get back in again.

People with second homes near Alicante?

Careful what you wish for. I am no fan of his politics, his style or his publicity hungry demeanour, but let’s be clear, he is on the airport’s side, fighting and winning and the airport, site and overall operations are in a far better position than before.

I would go as far to say if this hadn’t been a pet project for Ben, we may well be closed. So for those wanting change, be mindful of the impact that could have on a place we (well most of us) seem to care a lot about.

[N707ZS]

Unfortunately its not a wish, I am happy with progress. Its the same with all elections at the moment people are not bothered, BREXIT was another low turn out.

Cheeky little post from the Mayor alongside the Jet2 arrival for Willis today.

”We think you look damn good on our runway……..we’d love to see you become a regular on our tarmac. We’re ready for this.”

Whilst probably unlikely, great to see folks trying to lure the likes of Jet2.

Probably more to do with the start of the Mayoral campaign - there are often comments on social media about "Get Jet2, Ben"

[N707ZS]

Jet 2 said yes Start on Saturday. Wonder what he would have said if Willis got an Aeroflot.

I like how you have cut out the main part of the message that was said.

This is what was posted by the Mayor and Airport.

We think you look damn good on our runway Jet2.com & Jet2holidays
This morning we welcomed Jet2's latest B737 to Teesside as it heads in for maintenance with Willis Aviation.
We'd love to see you become a regular on our tarmac Jet2 We're ready for this

Yes, that was me being a little cheeky, focusing on the element of courting Jet2 in public.

Think it was a great post by both the airport and the mayor. Some cracking images of the apron this week and seeing a Jet2 aircraft there will get people talking I’m sure.

[P330]

As an aside, unlikely as it is, Jet2 still run well maintained 733s; an ideal aircraft size to test whether a new base is viable…..

We can always hope!

[Harold77]

P330, I agree it has been some good posts recently.

I think the way they have put the post today is to get lots of replies from the public saying they will use Jet2 from Teesside, then they can show Jet2 there is the demand for them at Teesside.

I think there was a Jet2Holidays charter route that was down to run in 2020, but covid hit and was dropped.

[GrahamK]

Pretty sure that was a JetsGo charter, don't believe Jet2 have ever had any plans to fly from MME.

[Wallsendmag]

Would it be new business or abstraction from established bases though?

[N707ZS]

We get Easyjet training but nothing is said about them.
