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!
Money talks !

It sounds a bit odd to me too. The Northern Echo is just repeating a release from the airport though so it is, as is usual, a lazy piece by a newspaper. What also interested me was that Ryanair are going back to MME to run the Alicante route. I don't remember the reasons why they left there initially so it seems strange that they are returning, presumably with an away based aircraft as the route, according to the airport, is going to be Ryanairs only, non specified frequency, route from there. It will be interesting to get more details of that one in due course and compare it with the Ryanair Alicante offering from LBA.Sounds an odd relationship to me.
"With now a 100 per cent uptake by another commercial operator taking on the risks associated to the initial route development that was commenced before the Coronavirus outbreak.
"The full commercial liability uptake of routes started by other operators is how the agreement was planned to work and shows what a great success it has proved to be.
In accordance with the agreement, Eastern Airways will now look to develop further routes in conjunction with its friends at Teesside International Airport to include further domestic and some exciting new European sun destinations.”

Alicante and Palma de Mallorca are the routes that Ryanair will be operating, I suspect that they have been given some sort of discount.according to the airport, is going to be Ryanairs only
According to AA Route Planner Teesside Airport (MME) is roughly 45 miles from Newcastle Airport and 60 miles from Leeds-Bradford Airport, both of which are significantly bigger than MME with greater potential in terms of catchment size.Just a passing thought but I wonder if any other operators will be tempted to explore operations from MME and join Ryan and TUI in 2022? Jet2 for example as they aren't shy when it comes to trying new airports and building on any success slowly but surely.
