China boost for airport
From the Evening Gazette 11 June
DURHAM Tees Valley Airport has welcomed plans by Virgin Atlantic to double the number of flights between Heathrow and Hong Kong to twice a day. The airport said it hoped to capitalise on “a considerable market” between North-east England and China. A spokesperson said: “Anything that offers customers greater flexibility is welcome and already in some cases it is possible for passengers flying from Durham Tees Valley to be ‘checked through’ on to Virgin services”.
