I see plenty of "Get easyJet in, Ben" comments, especially from the RYR haters. Personally, I think RYR are a double edged sword. Don't think MME is big enough for a competitor

Destinations would have to be none duplicate in the ideal world. The pleasures of not doing faceebook.

Thats it, knew it had Jet in the operator

We can always hope!

Not a chance! It will dilute NCL and LBA pax.

Does Ben run a travel agent site on the side😀😀

I think once a good amount of 321neos start coming online (think 15-20) perhaps Jet2 could look at basing a 737-800 at MME (maybe summer seasonal) and launch once or twice a week routes to PMI, AYT, TFS etc. Wouldn’t hurt LBA or NCL pax that much imo, as once a week from MME to some high density destinations they already serve probably won’t make a dent.

Nor is ‘testing whether a base is viable’ an actual thing.

One of the airports top guys is retiring he could fix anything.

Even more hangars planned

This time for 2Excel, or so the artwork would have you believe.

So between hangar 3 and the train station? Article reads like they don't have a customer for them yet.

[N707ZS]

This will explain why all of the companies have been moved out of the old cargo building, its now empty. This hangar complex was going to be built between hangar 1 and the terminal four months ago. SWBKCB that is the location but still no sign of concrete on the ground for parking.

Positive reopening news coming out of Doncaster re Peel acting in a humane way!

I think people in Doncaster land are waiting for a multi million £ charitable organisation to turn up and spend their millions with little to no ROI. We await further update.

Teesside could do with some more transport for staff either a bus from the Middlesbrough/Stockton area or re connect the station into the network. During my first period of work at the airport the trains were handy on days when I couldn't borrow a car or ride my bike.

[Buster the Bear]

The contract for Oil Spill Response comes up for a renewal decision in Q3 2023. Current contract ends in 2028 allegedly, so presumably 2Excel Aviation will pitch a new aircraft type, as the 727s will be ancient and spares dwindling? I would expect RVL/West Atlantic to bid, as they have the contract currently for UK waters.

[N707ZS]

I see the gang building the Southside road have started tarmacking parts of the road. It doesn't look very wide even though they took large amounts of land and there is no sign of drainage, footpath or cycleways which you would have thought would be built to such a development.

[N707ZS]

Any sign of new routes.

Quote from Ben on FB last night

"We'll be adding more flights and destinations soon so watch this space"

[Grumpy1]

And how many times has the mayor told us that for it to come to nothing?
