Teesside International Airport - General Thread

[Jerry]

I believe there was about 40 on the MME-LHR flight and 8 on the return.

42 on yesterday's inaugural southbound so maybe that's a good indication?

 

[Silvercity]

According to Twitter. MME- LHR is to be increased

RUMOUR & UNCONFIRMED Eastern Airways to increase its Teesside-London Heathrow route in W20: T37720 MME1340-1450LHR (Mo-Sa) T37722 MME1450-1600LHR (Su) T37728 MME1620-1720LHR (Mo-Fr&Su) T37721 LHR1615-1725MME (Mo-Sa) T37723 LHR1655-1805MME (Su) T37729 LHR1810-1920MME (Mo-Fr&Su)

Maybe this thread should be renamed ' Tees side ' ?

Probably can't get morning slots yet.

Just read on Twitter unconfirmed reports that MME-LHR will have better timings this winter including an AM departure

 

[Jerry]

That should help the route!

Tui will launch MME-PMI from 10 May 2021 on Tuesdays according to an article on Twitter.

Isnt Eastern already operating some of these routes ?

All of them are already operated by Eastern. They’ll have been hoping for a few more advance bookings after yesterday’s news so this will be the last thing they need right now.

Plain daft

I don't see how there is demand for 2 carriers on these routes and it seems to be going against what their CEO said their strategy for south of the border was. I wouldn't be surprised if it was to spoil Eastern operation and MME end's up losing both airlines.

It makes no sense, unless Eastern are disappearing .

It has been said elsewhere that they couldn't be taken over the routes from Eastern on a 3 year contract. No doubt a cheque is involved!

The ego mad mayor at work again?

Could there be a code-share in the offing?
