Teesside-2
From the local rag, the quoted passenger figures doesn't seem right. I know we have experts here who will know.
Teesside Airport bosses 'optimistic' about covid recovery as multi-million losses narrow - Teesside Live (gazettelive.co.uk)
The local rags also missed out on the first visit of Boris in his new jet to Teesside on 1st April. Might of been its first ministerial use.

I think optimism for a recovery is well placed but the timing needs questioning.
The mood music in the wider rags for normal holidays abroad this year is at best limited, which is a shame for our planned Ryanair and Bourgas routes. That’s not to say later starts won’t happen or domestic flights won’t improve but I suspect 2021 will be another quiet year...
Business and routine travel on KLM will also be well down and who knows when that will actually resume.
(edit: to be fair the mayor says 2021 is a bit of an unknown).

The real worry is those figures are only up to March 2020...the figures up to March2021 will be a disaster.
Like all all airports..it’s struggling and the figures up to March2022 will be possibly similar?
Don’t forget a massive amount of money has also been spent the in last financial year to get the airport fit for purpose?

I liked this bit:
and this bit:
And bosses says Brexit trade deals are not expected to have a "significant impact" on the airport's current business plan forecasts.
The latest accounts also detail that the airport was charged management fees of £646,732 from a subsidiary of Stobart while Ms Willard's own firm charged £1,595 in consultancy fees.

Looks like MME-DUB has been chopped already. Given the situation surrounding foreign travel, hopefully this is just a delay to the start of the route rather than anything more serious. I got a couple of cancellation emails this morning and there looks to be no other flights bookable in the near future.

If an announcement is next week he’s probably thrown some cash at Ryanair or perhaps EIR to do it, some nicely timed publicity for the middle of the election campaign. Why would Logan cancel it only to re-launch next week? Perhaps I’m too cynical
The period of purdah (period of sensitivity) for the Mayoral elections started yesterday - 15/04. I'm no expert but I would have thought a major announcement involving one of the Mayor's major election commitments might be pushing the bounds a bit.
Thought it was interesting that it was left to Phil Forster to comment on the airports involvement in the play “Steel and Iron" last week - that must be a first!

A company spokesperson said: “Loganair is pleased with customer reaction to its planned flying programme for Belfast, Newquay, Jersey, Heathrow and Aberdeen for this summer overall. However demand for its Dublin service, due to start 3 May, has been below expectations. We’ve therefore taken the decision to cancel flying to Dublin this year and very much hope to re-introduce the route for Summer 2022.”

The local authority certainly couldn’t say anything but don’t believe there is anything to stop a commercial announcement with the Mayor in the picture. It’s not like we don’t see Prime Ministers and MPs doing the rounds of JCB factories etc during elections talking about massive investments

The local rag is calling Dublin a "summer route" to me that means it's a holiday flight and not as presumed a schedule flight.
Eastern seem to have all but moved out at the airport.

Nothing unexpected..everyone fighting for their political lives!
Said before..all airports are struggling..TIA along with with others has always struggled...the next couple of years are very,very interesting!
The amount of money the mayor has spent on this one project..while the whole area could have benefited ,..looks enormous...Massive pressure to succeed?

Although things are relative - money spent could have built one, maybe two miles of dual carriageway? He's certainly nailed his colours to the mast, though!

I would say the whole area is benefiting; even before Freeport and Government departments moving north the region was on the up. Maybe the other projects are less reliant on financial input than the airport?
