Road traffic is a major problem wherever you are.Yes the Western bypass is not good at certain times..however the Silverlink A19 super! Triple flyover opens this week..I would guess that will take a massive amount of traffic off the Western bypass?

More need for for a second Tees crossing on the A19...oops..where is the money for that?

Silverlink A19 super, will be ideal for Scottish travellers to fly on the DTVA summer flights again.

Actually, I know someone who's working on the scheme. It was agreed to delay Testo's until after Silverlink so the whole team could move across - same contractors. Therefore, rather than run both parallel to each other, it was agreed to extend the start date so the issue is only in one area at a time, but more workers on the section.

I was thinking more from the Motorists POV. We visit Northumberland often and were looking forwards to a clear A19 run, having abandoned the Western Bypass some time ago due to high traffic volumes overflowing its capacity and utterly bonkers driving standards.

Does the panel think the FLYBE problems will have any bearing on a Teesside base? Lots of chat that they ,through The Stobarts connection! Might be the based operator? Doubtful now?

Money talks - how deep are the Mayor's pockets?

Deep enough to have a Cessna flying around with a banner saying "Ben Houchin buys airport" two one hour slots.

Hope he covered that cost and not the local taxpayers!

New owners swing into action?

However, disaster struck on Saturday 30th March when the previous land occupiers, Goosepool House & Cafe, informed the organisers that the event simply couldn’t go ahead. They had been issued with a letter from Durham Tees Valley Airport to state that this event was simply too big for the area and had a number of risk factors involved, the organisers were told to cancel the show with immediate effect.

I think it's a case of the organisers/cafe should have asked first rather than just going ahead and arranging it

N707ZS 7th Apr 2019 10:27
Though Goosepool House and Café was still open? And never heard of the show past or present.

Fly Be thread makes depressing reading at moment..along with Eastern!
Therefore concerns over future or potential routes from Teesside Airport.Im still not sure where this low cost carrier is going to materialise from? I think you can rule out Jet 2 due to local competition from Leeds and Newcastle.
Easy Jet ,doubtful as again it would dilute Manchester and Newcastle.
Ryanair...they work in a different world to others..so..probably the best option? However due to the hard bargaining they employ..doubtful much inward revenue for the airport.
Anyone else?...who knows.

With Ryanair the airport would be earning revenue off the passenger boost in the shops eateries and car parking.

Not sure how much revenue can be gained to offset the cost of Ryanair presumably wanting to operate for nothing and have concessions on top. The catch-22 situation of running a small regional airport these days. I imagine the airport would deem it appropriate to stipulate a minimum passenger throughput to sustain the operation at a hugely reduced rate, but then would invariably mean the airline would have to offer a significant number of seats at a much reduced cost to enable the passenger numbers to be met. Simply unsustainable for both parties. This is the reason airports either introduce a ‘pax tax’ (MME past) or decide to forego low-cost airlines altogether as is the case at HUY. Also the reason airlines focus on the larger hubs where there is the critical mass - both from the much larger catchment areas, and from the higher airline interest - to absorb the costs and ultimately reduce the risk.

highwideandugly 7th Apr 2019 19:42
PDXCWL..yes that goes without saying...have you been to the airport..no shops or eateries to speak of..car parking very cheap at mo.


its a long road/runway ahead!

N707ZS 8th Apr 2019 18:17
Was surprised to see the new radar is at the 05 end of the airfield on top of steel tower. The other two are/were located on the 23 end.

highwideandugly 8th Apr 2019 19:28
Maybe forward thinking re obstacles at east end in the future?
