KLM restart pushed back to Mon 5th April.
Once a day until Mon 3rd May then back to 3 x times a day.
Realistically, you would expect this to change again given its illegal to travel abroad without very good reason until at least 17th May.

Would be great to see KLM back but LM will take some pax, corporates will be slow to recover and what is on sale is no resemblance to reality so defo a risk to returning. What's on sale is a pipe dream more than 2 weeks out after which EU261 doesn't count. Just look up the road at the number of BA flights on some days in June, 4 a day, I think not. Interesting times

Yes, the world will take a long time to recover and even if things are allowed from May and the carrot of normality returns in June, I can’t see scheduled flights being what they were for a long time, if ever.
That said, in my work, I am just waiting for the green light and will be on the move again and so will others in our org. If the Freeport brings in the additional industry projected, then that will increase demand.
Have a holiday using KLM Teesside in August so watching closely. Have not booked car parking or transfers yet pending a last minute switch to Newcastle (or cancelling the whole
lot).

Next Wednesday (24th), a new series of Heathrow, Britain’s Busiest Airport starts on ITV.
Of interest is that the arrival of Eastern Airways onto the field late last year will be taking centre stage in the first episode...

Just announced..viewing platform ..Terrace being re instated...great news.
Been a big miss at all airports.Hopefully other airports will follow? Not sure how the security aspect will be addressed? However it works elsewhere.

As I understand it things were on hold pending the announcement of the treasury base, and Freeport, as to the exact final design. Assume now that is sorted things will start to happen!?

We know the treasury isn't coming and the freeport isn't the same as the Wilton and river sites, customs only not tax. I think a bit of head scratching will be going on to find a way forward. The road in hasn't been touched which you would think would happen first.
There's a difference between what HM Treasury would like you to think is coming to Teesside... and what actually is coming to Teesside
You are likely to find that many of the support functions will move to Teesside. The policy making function (i.e. the most important and influential bit) might well stay largely in London

David we are talking about the airport. The treasury or its departments are moving to Darlington along with an international trade department. Darlington is very near so the airport should benefit from some traffic.
