Teesside International Airport - General Thread

[CM.]

i wonder if teeside could be one of the bases,the mayor seems to support the airport 100%.

Good suggestion SNOWMAN as its been hinted a new airline could be coming to Teeside next year so could that be Sun Express?…

*Sorry Teesside.

That Twitter account does my head in

I think it is quite good. I made the mistake of spelling Teesside wrong the first time I went there and was corrected - I won't make the same mistake again now

New route: Teeside-Aberdeen-Esbjerg

A possible new airline for Teesside in 2022. Which airline do you think it could be??

Could the new airline for Summer 2022 be easyJet Europe? The airlines call-sign is “Alpine”.

With bases all around Europe - this might be a good contender?!

A good guess as it could be Easyjet Europe but I’m unsure at the moment as to which airline it could be. Time will tell.

They did close their NCL base not too long ago, although they still serve there with aircraft from elsewhere. I can't really recall if there was a LoCo based at MME....maybe BMIbaby ?

 

[CM.]

Correct @Carl0927 i believe they have operated from MME in the past but they never took off from there from what they say so reduced and cancelled flights from MME.

The Teeside-Antalya route is now available on sale. Looks like a different carrier will be operating the route for TUI but it’s unknown what at the moment.

This route has been delayed by a year and now starts in May 2023.

Loganair have reduced its planned Teesside to Dublin route from 4x to 2x weekly flights year round (Fridays & Sundays)
Additionally, Loganair have reduced its Teesside to Newquay route from 2x to 1x weekly flight (Saturdays only)

I wonder what their mayor thinks of this since he’s put a lot of commitment into MME.

 

[Silvercity]

MME to LHR to finish also SOU 24 May 22. As per SeanM

 

[Jerry]

As well as Southampton. They're reducing the base to 1 aircraft

It just shows that if the business is not there it doesn't matter how much the airport subsidise it, it will get cancelled. Shame.

Congratulations to Teesside on being the one of only 3 airports to have exceeded 2019 figures in April.

@Scottie Dog - It isn't really congratulations though is it? Teesside was dying a death under Peel for a fair number of years until they (Peel) eventually threw in the towel and the Mayor came along and did a rescue act. It cost, and is still costing a small fortune if rumour is to be believed, to attract operators to a what was a nearly dead airport. In the circumstances increasing passengers from virtually nothing to a bit more than nothing is commendable but at what price and how long will it last I ask? Passengers up to c14,000 from c13,000 is for sure an improvement but it isn't (except on the face of it) anything to shout about. Biggin Hill was up by over 30% compared with Teesside (up by c9% if you look at it purely from a statistical point of view and neither airport handles what I would call a representative number of passengers per annum in comparison with more well used and recognised airports.

I'm not, by the way, questioning the value of the sterling work you do compiling these figures for us every month. I wouldn't have the patience. I'm also not knocking Teesside as in the past I used it a lot in the days when it was a better more functional airport albeit small.

 

[Scottie Dog]

No problem @airforced and no offence taken. I must admit that on occasions I do find myself struggling to get all the data ready for when I want to publish it - the big problems being when I take a few days off and then my daily stats for Manchester start to suffer!

When I worked in travel MME was really quite busy with BMA to LHR, we book loads of passengers on it. But that was when we had ICI

The demise of ICI was the start of the demise of MME.
