Teesside International Airport - General Thread

[airforced]

How did the airshow go? On the day there was a lot of media coverage in this neck of the woods regarding 'gridlock' on local roads by people wanting to get to MME for the show. I recall MME advising folk beforehand that the car parks would only be available for people who were flying from the airport and not airshow visitors. Was it this that caused whatever problems there was?

Just caught an article on Twitter, that Tui are lauching a route from Tees side to Turkey next summer.

AYT commences S23. DLM commences S24.

TUI offering from Teesside
Summer 2023
Palma de Mallorca 2 weekly Tuesday and Saturday
Antalya 1 weekly Thursday
Summer 2024
Palma de Mallorca 2 weekly Tuesday and Saturday
Dalaman 1 weekly Tuesday

At the moment they'll offer 3 weekly flights to 2 destinations, with it looks like Dalaman replacing Antalya for S24.

Hopefully they’ll still flyover Leeds once in a while.

Nice to see freight flights operating to Teesside with car parts. With two aircraft currently landing at Teesside.

Couple of articles about the first series of cargo flights into Teesside. Interesting to see that they expect wide bodied aircraft to arrive next year and could see upto 20,000 tonnes a year of cargo handled through the airport. It is great to see the turnaround the airport is seeing.

I cant see much more than a fraction of the cargo which was handled at DSA materialising at MME. A pre- requisite for freighter operations is a long runway. The 747 freighters that were the most common visitors to DSA wouldn't be able to operate to/from MME. Still, any new business is good news.

Teesside can handle 747's. The last 747 into Teesside was a CargoLogicAir in 2015

Well that's encouraging.
Questions:
1.where was it operating to/from?
2. How heavily loaded was it?
3. Was it loaded in, out or both?

Leeds used to have pax B747's regularly but truth is most airlines are reluctant to operate them from shorter runways.

Wardair operated a load restricted YYZ via BHX service from LBA back in the 80s.

More hangars to be built at Teesside after funding secured. These are in addition to the Draken & Willis developments.

First UK airport to go fully across to the new types of scanner where you can leave everything in the bag - if you have been to AMS in the last few years you will have seen these in action as they are fully converted.

The first UK airport with 100% 'don't unpack' security scanners is .... Teesside!

Teesside International Airport has become the first in the UK to be fully ready for the upcoming changes to security rules, with liquids now remaining in bags.

That will be a godsend when rolled out across the country. As much as I believe security needs to be thorough, the queues it generates must dissuade some passengers, especially business passengers from travelling by air. This should have a huge impact a larger airports.
