Has the potential to be a great airport, if only the Peel Group would sell it to someone who knows what they are doing! From the start we had the renaming fiasco; it is still known as Teesside airport throughout Europe. Then they drive airlines away (by demanding ridiculous landing fees?) The loss of the daily flights to London was just the start, only last week they told Thompsons they no longer wanted their business. What is their business plan for the airport, are they intent on turning it into a frieght only airport or will they try to sell the land for housing?
The final death knell will be when they lose the daily KLM flights to Amsterdam.
A sad loss for the people of ''Teesside''! but will they be concerned in ''Durham''?
hardley, after all their local airport is Newcastle!
I agree with other postings here, it is only a matter of time before they announce the closure of the airport!
