Is it just me, or is that incredibly hypocritical??

The quote seems odd - the bit about KLM makes no sense, not clear who is employing the route development person (surely this should be Peel? and the papers published say it's to cover airline start up loses?), and tourist flights (presumably outbound?) add nothing to "regional connectivity", which is the stated aim.

Why is it hypocritical?

The way I read it, it is for airlines to apply for, not for Peel to get their hands on!
I wouldn't listen to a word Dixon says!

Robert-Ryan 14th May 2018 17:29

Like I said it might just be me. The 500k was ultimately going to the airlines though that's why I'm struggling to see a difference?

However, the mayor’s office has said this new £1m deal will not be open to Peel and was separate to the ongoing discussions on any potential handover.
So if the mayor gets the airport, he gets the money. But if he doesn't he won't part with the 500k which was going to be matched by Peel to make £1m and we would possibly have had flights summer 2019!

The money is for airlines to apply for, the money will be available whoever owns the airport. The £500K applied for by Peel wasn't just for routes, but also to fund retail developments.

The two are still more than close enough to be considered alike!!

SWBKCB 14th May 2018 19:11

Is anybody saying they aren't?

Robert-Ryan 14th May 2018 20:10

No I guess I was just expecting those opposed to the 500k being in support of the 1 mil

DTVA ltd assets valued at £26m by Peel
 
Re the losses which Peel show as over £2.5m a year in the last accounts. I noted that they show their tangible assets (land and buildings) are worth over £26.6 million. Not bad for only paying £500k for the 835 acres.

If Peel do decide to sell it back to the Mayor, will they be looking for £26m which is their estimate shown in their companies house filing for last year (PDF Jan 2018)

I'm sure I read somewhere that they stated total losses since they took over amount to 48 million, they'd want that back I would have thought so 74 million is probably nearer the mark.

Surprised no-one has brought the below up; suspect Eastern are to credit!

No it doesn't. It shows, after depreciation a book value of £5m. And if you look at the full balance sheet, the liabilities are greater than the assets. Not a healthy balance sheet at all. You need to read the full accounts Beafer....

Did the fire service ever help with off loading/loading baggage at MME?

No 'secret deal' behind airport controversy - councilor


And Cllr David Walsh, the Labour leader of the authority at the time, believed the airport does have a future but wanted to dismiss the rumours surrounding the sale of the airport. He said: “There is no secret hidden at the bottom of this, it was a very simple issue faced by the local authorities at that time that would not alter one iota, if it was happening now we would have to take the same decision. There’s no Da Vinci code in the middle of it, there is no hidden horde of gold, there is no strange Masonic handshakes between Peel and the local authorities – people want to believe that sort of thing and that is what motivates quite a lot of this."
