This may not help that much but they get to choose their own codes freom the IATA. If it's available then they can have it assigned to them. I assume that somewhere someone at the airport decided they wanted to apply for MME. Also, before it was teeside it was an RAF base called st-middleton. Maybe M for middleton, M for middlesborough, E for east.

You know, this is a bit of a strange question! There are hundreds of thousands of answers to this. Every airport in the world has a 3-letter code. As an example, to ad to the list so far - European - LEI - Almeria AGP - Malaga CPH - Copenhagen ALC - Alicante FAO - Faro LJU - Ljubljana NCE - Nice MUC - Munich BIO - Bilbao AMS - Amsterdam PRG - Prague Australian - SYD - Sydney MEL - Melbourne ADL - Adelaide BNK - Ballina CNS - Cairns CBR - Canberra DRW - Darwin OOL - Gold Coast MQL - Mildura PQQ - Port Macquarie PER - Perth PPP - Proserpine TSV - Townsville HBA - Hobart KGI - Kalgoorlie MCY - Maroochydore BNE - Brisbane GLT - Gladstone GFF - Griffith KNX - Kununurra So, as you can see from my list, even little one-horse towns in the Australian outback have a 3 letter code. The list could go on and on and on forever.

As mentioned elsewhere it might be because it is close to Middlesbrough (although it is west of Middlesbrough and not east, and closer to Darlington). This site http://www.azworldairports.com/airports/p2720mme.htm has contact information for the airport and you might be able to get more details that way.

Probably because the letters that you think would be associated with that airport were already used for other airports.

If you are talking luggage labels I would suggest Middlesborough East may be two of the initials
