If the agent has failed to deliver the service they agreed to provide in their contract, then the cost must sit with them?

August CAA stats:

Terminal passengers: 12,284 - up 11% v prior year
  • Aberdeen: 1,378 - down 15%
  • Amsterdam: 8,471 - down 5%
  • Jersey: 733 - up 41%
  • Burgas: 1,702 (new)
For the first time in nearly two years, Amsterdam shows a year-on-year decline, not helped by the KLM's annual service reduction during July & August (although I am not sure if there were fewer flights this year or not). Aberdeen is again still well down and shows no sign of improvement. Jersey up due to 5 departures in August compared to 4 last year but 73 pax per flight is strong on a 78 seater plane. Balkan Holidays should be pleased with Bourgas, 170 pax per flight looks good and is around a 95% load factor.

Rolling 12 month passengers: 145,461

In response to the concerns, a spokeswoman for Highways England said: “We have no plans to change the signs at present - and we have not been approached about doing so.”

No plans to change road signs to Teesside Airport despite name change

SWBKCB 5th Oct 2019 06:03

The power of Pprune?? :D

A spokeswoman for Highways England said: “Highways England is in discussions with Teesside Airport and the Tees Valley Combined Authority about the current signs which refer to the airport. “Because we would be replacing the current signs before their normal lifetime, we are working with the combined authority to take this work forward.”

Number Crunching...

quiet thread again at the moment so thought I would take another look at the Bold proposals and promises made by the new incumbents ,regarding passenger numbers.After all it was broadly based on these that the mayor managed to get the local councils to part with circa £40 million pounds of tax payers money?

2017. 128,000. Airport low point regarding passenger figures.
2018. 140,000. Competition on Aberdeen routes helped.
2019. 145,000. Projected...Mainly due to the Balkan effect and excellent KLM performance
2020. 150,000 Again projected..Balkan plus new Palma series.Little growth on KLM. Due Aircraft type and slot restraints at Amsterdam.Huge competition at the moment on Aberdeen from Newcastle.
2021. Assuming an extended Palma season and if it does well..maybe an Alicante ? KLM and Eastern little change..gives another projected figure of..say. 155,000 tops?

and so to 2022.Owners projected figures are 1 million. I leave you all to do the maths..but a bit like Brexit..there is a little bit of uncertainty I would suggest how that figure will reached?

I think the '1 million by 2022' is a mis-quote in the Gazette. The official view seems to be 10 years to get to a million.

highwideandugly 15th Oct 2019 15:27

Ahhh.the Gazette! That makes more sense! Still would need growth year on year of who knows..30% for 8 years?

A tall order without at least one major low cost carrier...trouble is they are few and far between now?

oldart 16th Oct 2019 09:07

I seem to remember that 'W' patterns worked quite well for MME some time ago. In that respect would it offer a new selection of slots to use rather than a busier airport?

The Arriva bus service from Darlington might have returned to the airport terminal today instead of stopping along the old entrance road.

There seems to be only four services that run direct from Darlington, late afternoon and evening.

P330 1st Nov 2019 14:48

I suspect there is some press going on for the said bus service. An Arriva bus was airside this morning complete with camera crew.

MME-ABZ
 
Some slight timing changes for the mid morning and evening flights to Aberdeen from next week - also Thu/Fri just 2 daily flights in each direction. Sunday returns to being split with Humberside, but on the ATR72.

Is Loganair flying from Newcastle having any impact here? Although looking at fares for tomorrow on Eastern from here, still £243 for each flight! Lower fares for the rest of the week.

So Stobart launching a double daily Southend route from Newcastle has got to be a joke right?

Bring back Peel anyone?!

Stobart
 
As mentioned above, should we be worried that as a Stobart run airport, Stobart Air decided to fly from another Stobart owned airport to Newcastle? I believe when Stobart were announced as the partner, the inference was that as they owned Southend Airport too, that could be a route that was possible. I am not saying it would ever have been a successful route but surely it does not really inspire confidence in the airport.

Or were Flybe starting the Newcastle route before Loganair did?

highwideandugly 13th Nov 2019 20:22

Just shows how hard it’s going to be for the airport to attract any meaningful routes and services ?

Newcastle is an established airport with 5million plus passengers..TIA is ,yet again ,a relaunched airport in an area which needs so much help.Economically on the edge...

its probably a no brainier to most airlines..stick to the safe option? Airlines are a business and need to make money!


on another note...what is the latest with the Cobham's airport contract? Lots of talk earlier in the year re revised contracts..if they were to leave and take the £2 million plus annual contract (allegedly)with them,what would that do to the viability of the airport?


lots

Plus SEN-NCL is a Flybe/Virgin Connect route operated by Stobart. I am with HWAU the Cobham contract is a linch pin of the airport!

Robert-Ryan 14th Nov 2019 20:52

The movements website has September's passenger figures, looks like a very good month, as per their comments: Amsterdam returned to form with a 10% increase, 15% increase in terminal pax, Jersey finished better than last year and even Aberdeen was ok although still down by 4%.

Gunfighter52 14th Nov 2019 22:11

On for the first back to back increase in annual passenger figures since 2005/6. Granted it's not a huge achievement, but its progress nonetheless.

tigertanaka 15th Nov 2019 08:22

September CAA stats:

Terminal passengers: 14,372 - up 15% v prior year
  • Aberdeen: 1,532 - down 4%
  • Amsterdam: 11,291 - up 10%
  • Jersey: 388 - down 22%
  • Burgas: 829 (new)
  • Bergamo: 332 (charter)
After the service reduction in August, Amsterdam bounces back with a healthy growth number and 11,291 passengers is the best month on MME-AMS since October 2005! Aberdeen was down again but not as much as we have seen in recent months and the numbers were actually more than in September 2017. Jersey down due to the calendar movement (3 flights in September this year compared to 4 last year) but for the summer overall JER was up 5%. Assuming the last flight to Burgas went back empty, 829 passengers is 166 per flight (around a 93% load factor). 332 passengers to Bergamo is 161 each way on a 170 seat plane so pretty good too!

Rolling 12 month passengers: 147,297

Gunfighter52 22nd Nov 2019 22:26

Both the morning and evening Amsterdam rotations were operated by an ERJ-190 today.

N707ZS 22nd Nov 2019 22:53

Weekend breaks in Amsterdam have always been popular, presume the ERJ-190 was through demand and not just lack of a smaller plane. See if they return Sunday or Monday.

KLM Teesside to Amsterdam route passenger numbers increase


A shy bairn said:


It has not even been 12 months since I bought our airport but we are already making significant progress with our 10-year rescue plan. Today’s announcement that we have some of the best passenger numbers the airport has seen in almost 15 years is proof that the plan is working.

No-More-Bullschit 26th Nov 2019 15:04

The improvement in the routes performance began under Peel and there's nothing to suggest it has anything to do with the Mayor's takeover.

highwideandugly 26th Nov 2019 15:43

great figures..11k plus......on KLM....not sure of capacity/seats offered but a quick approximation...gives around 78 per flight both ways...100% capacity...so over to you KLM...extra flight?

Works out at 73.3 per flight average, 88 seats gives 83.2% average load over the month (154 flights in total)

P330 28th Nov 2019 19:52

I would suggest more E190s before an extra rotation unfortunately.

Yes, I think this is right looking at what KLM do from other similar sized UK airports.
  • In the last 12 months, MME-AMS has had around 118,000 pax on the route - 18 departures a week (typically 3x E175s each weekday plus 3 over the weekend). This is the same for the Winter and Summer timetables.
  • Humberside (127,000 pax in 2018) runs 19 departures a week during winter (all E175s) and 19 departures a week during summer (all E175s)
  • Cardiff (146,000 pax in 2018) also runs 19 flights a week during winter (normally 2x E175s a day and 1 x E190) and 20 departures a week during the summer (normally 2x E175s a day and 1 x E190)
  • Norwich (147,000 pax in 2018) runs 20 flights a week during winter (all E175s) and 25 flights a week during the summer (all E175s)

P330 29th Nov 2019 09:47

Interesting stats...so based on that there are other bases ahead of us to upgauge or increase frequency.

Of course, we have no yield stats....

I'd say that the loads would have to be consistently in the high 90s for them to consider it. Cardiff was like that for a while and now is getting more E190 flights. During the winter 6 of the 20 weekly departures will be E190s and in the summer 8 of the 20 weekly will be E190s except in July and August when it will be 1.

virginblue 29th Nov 2019 11:57

Keep in mind that there are no more slots available at AMS. So adding a frequency would require axing one to another destination. So unless MME is a goldmine, it will be E90s instead of additional E75 flights.

As per the KLM timetable, one flight per day to HUY is upgauged to an E190 in April, May, June, September and October next year. (Also the frequency on HUY-AMS varies between 19 and 20xWeek throughout the year, with the 3rd Sunday frequency being the one that 'comes and go's'. HUY-AMS is currently 20xWeek, goes down to 19xWeek in January, back to 20xWeek sometime in February, then back down to 19xWeek when the E190 starts, then back up again to 20xWeek in July when the route goes back to all E175 for 2 months)

And Mr Houchen sought to allay any worries.The mayor said: “Eddie Stobart who appear to be in financial difficulty, are a completely separate and different company to Stobart Group who are our partners at Teesside Airport. “Stobart Group are doing very well as is our amazing airport, especially with the recent name change and the announcement of the return of the airshow next May.“We’re working closely with Stobart Group on implementing our 10 year turnaround plan for the airport and getting new flights to new destinations. The future of our airport is strong and it is in safe hands.”
Comments on the Southend thread suggest that it might not be that straightforward as the Stobart Group have considerable funds tied up in Eddie Stobart

Airport hotel lease.
 
The agent has put a new advert on Rightmove to sell the hotel lease. Breakdown of the hotel earnings is shown.

Who actually owns the building? airport or a separate land owner like Peel?

Robert-Ryan 9th Dec 2019 18:17

It's always been external from the airport so not Peel, the airport have never recognised it as an airport hotel
