Surprised no-one picked up on this? Bit rich of the Gazette to use a pic of a KLM Embraer at Newcastle...

Does anybody understand Stobart's role at MME? I think it's about 12 months since there was a public comment from them. Interestingly Carlisle was described as "peripheral to the main focus of our aviation business at London Southend Airport" and it's disposal would "avoid management distraction". Wonder what their view of MME is?
This goes back to the old Peel arguement about the airport name, if you're selling the airport as a tourist destination Durham has far more recognition than Roseberry Topping and the Transporter Bridge

Who can blame KLM for getting mixed up! Been marketed solidly for how many years as DTV! KLM wise It's a very small spoke on a massive hub!
Plus as Michael O'leary would say no publicity is bad!

The Mayor has a post on Facebook which is similar to the airports post on the Corfu route, apart from a big picture of a Ryanair tail and "Teesside to Corfu July 2021" and "Vote Ben Houchen on May 6". The comments section is a long lost of places that Teessiders want to go on their holidays. I thought "global connectivity" was about inward investment into the region rather than making it easier to get out of it.

What has been achieved at the airport is not bad, considering it was from a virtual standing start. It's a ten year plan, hopefully the jobs will come and more revenue will perhaps bring the airport into profit.
Indeed, and the likely legacy of the current lot in Parliament will be increasingly stringent caps on aviation in the pursuit of ‘carbon neutrality’, meaning that there will be very few viable small regional airports in the next ten to fifteen years.
Olddart..what has been achieved...less passengers less operating flights,improved terminal Local business input ..compared in general terms to previous years it’s probably around !
These are such strange and unknown times..maybe we need to revisit in 2/3 years and compare?

highwideandugly, are you seriously trying to compare the current situation to 18 months ago?
Yes, definitely come back and revisit in 2/3 years. All being well, the airport is shaping up to be in a fantastic position. In another 18 months there should be at least 2 daily Heathrow and Amsterdam as well as multiple daily Aberdeen. Already more than there was. Not to mention at least daily Southampton, Bristol and Belfast, hopefully Dublin as well. That's before we even start mentioning Jersey, Newquay, Palma, Alicante, Bourgas and Corfu.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see the likes of Malaga, Tenerife, Dalaman and Faro pop up in the not too distant future and I still reckon a based LCC could be in the pipeline before 2023. They'll be up against hot competition at NCL for Wizzair though

I have to say as much as it would be good for Teesside to succeed, I can’t see many routes standing the test of time. Aberdeen and Amsterdam for non-holiday scheduled with a possibility of Belfast and Heathrow. I just don’t see anything else working. Leisure routes have more potential.
