Teesside now appear to have found a market and despite minimal freight so far, it appears that the future could be brighter due to the pro active Mayor and airport management?
The airport are looking to grow this service, recently announcing a new Cargo Business Development Manager who previously worked with the Emirates skycargo team at Newcastle.
