Durham Tees Valley Airport 'warned' over new charge
The airport is operating at a loss and needs to "stabilise" its finances
Durham Tees Valley Airport has been urged to make efforts to ensure passengers are aware of a new departure levy before they arrive for flights.
Adult passengers are now charged a £6 airport facility fee and children £2.
Owner Peel Airports said the move was necessary to safeguard its future in the face of rising costs.
But the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has told airport bosses they have an obligation to make passengers aware of the fee before they turn up.
