First three hours free then not sure after that. Stations in the wrong place anyway.

Have you seen the timetable for Tees-side Airport Railway station?

Sundays only if I recall correctly: Realtime Trains | Departures from Tees-side Airport

Not really a viable alternative to car parking no matter what the cost! Looking at arrivals and departures, it looks like it could work if you wanted to fly Loganair to Norwich on a Sunday, and return from Amsterdam by KLM the next Sunday...

If only one of Australia's largest investment companies had access to your advice...:rolleyes:

ps. are Saudi and Iran really involved in a "brewing war"? Seems unlikely...:ok:

It is generally accepted now by those in the know that this place is heading towards housing/industrial estate due to the tiny, not very wealthy population catchment. Just like with Yeadon (Leeds Bradford Airport) and Finningley (Doncaster Airport) who also have very passionate enthusiasts it will be a sad but inevitable and desperately needed progression for Yorkshire and the Greater North East. A ONE airport solution for Yorkshire will stop the North East falling even further behind the rest of the country economically speaking. Let's stop the bickering and unite.

Give it a rest - the north of England has a world class airport at MAN, your blinkered divide and rule dreams would only benefit the south :yuk:

Leeds approach - it's only accepted by those NOT in the know! Heading towards [solely] housing and industrial estates is not bringing new airlines and operators in, is not refurbishing terminals, is not investing 4 mil+ in a new radar and another couple of mil on new security screening kit, is not releasing websites debunking all of said myths. Wake up man

Robert-Ryan, LA is a deluded troll with the sole agenda of Yorkshire - read as Leeds - having one major airport at Church Fenton.

I think we've all been guilty of feeding it recently. Hopefully it will go away soon. Ironically, there's is more chance of a housing estate being built on the airfield at CF than there is at any of the other airports mentioned in trolls' posts.

Now that's hilarious.....

If trains were to be made more regular into Teesside, could they not consider offering a free (or reasonably priced) shuttle bus to the Terminal door?

They'd probably need to knock the station down and start again though, to be fair.

Didn't there used to be one? Think there would need to be more flights for it to be sustainable.

Who left the toilet seat up! Something got out that needs flushing!

shuttle bus
 

They had a electric mini bus in the late 70s
that ran between the station and terminal

Ambassador Airways are due to launch a full summer charter programme from MME!.....oh wait its not 1994. Give up our little local airport is done.

Anth, I will fully agree with you IF Loganair is a flop... As long as Loganair commit to setting up and expanding the base come 2018, I reckon there's life in her yet

The day Loganair pull out, I agree, she's dead

Loganair? KLM's the only game in town.

An airport needs more than KLM though. Even Manston kept KLM...

Lose KLM and the airport loses all credibility - in terms of regional politics and economic impact, what's the point of the airport if it can't deliver that globally connectivity? How many of the recent investments have been to keep KLM happy?

A few KLM flights have been cancelled recently, heard some mention of fog at Amsterdam. Anyone know anymore?

It seems a fair few flights have been cancelled and delayed today at Amsterdam Schiphol not just Durham Tees Valley.

It seems that Durham Tees Valley is one of the first routes to be affected when flights get cancelled due to weather / reduced landing slots at Amsterdam Schiphol.

I suspect it's because KLM know they have no competition to worry about at Durham Tees Valley so make the decision to cancel that ahead others routes which they have a chance of losing costumers to other airlines / routes.

I guess they also have to factor in the size of the aircraft, what the load was for the flights, onward connections passengers, how passengers can be accommodated on alternative flights / including use of other local airports with KLM flights to Amsterdam Schiphol, cost of cancelling flight i.e. compensation etc, airport landing fees and charges.

i.e. KLM decide to cancel a Durham Tees Valley flight. They contact passengers and offer alternatives of compensation / costs plus a seat from / too Durham Tees Valley Airport on earlier or later flight or seats on flights from / too Newcastle airport or Leeds Bradford airport.

KLM won't cancel the route because it makes them a lot of money. If routes like Durham Tees Valley were cancelled it would have a negative affect on other flights / routes from Amsterdam Schiphol because most of the passengers are connection passenger and most will be going onto another KLM ticket coded flight.

Loganair have applied for six Saturday flights from Guernsey next summer. Appears to be a 'W' on a S.2000, not the based S.340
