No, it's not a wind-up...
LOSS-making Durham Tees Valley Airport (DTVA) will today (Thursday) unveil plans to protect vital air links by building up to 400 houses on the site.
Airport bosses say the sale of land for housing would fund the redevelopment of the terminal building, and pay for new aircraft hangars, warehouses and offices.
The DTVA master plan, which goes out for a two-month consultation today
The plan proposes between 250 and 400 homes on land to the west and north of the terminal, including a field previously earmarked for a business park.

Consultations events will be held at the St George Hotel at DTVA on November 21 and at the Dolphin Centre, in Darlington, on November 28. More events are planned, the airport said.
