Durham Tees Valley Airport has welcomed the Government recommendation that London Heathrow should be the preferred location for additional south east capacity and the proposal of a new domestic service to Durham Tees Valley once the expansion is complete.
Steve Gill, chief executive of Durham Tees Valley Airport said
“We welcome the Government’s recommendation for London Heathrow as its preferred location for additional south east capacity. Connectivity into the UK’s global hub is key to supporting economic growth of the regions and secured slots for regional services will ensure the economic benefit including inbound tourism are felt across the UK.
“Heathrow’s announcement proposing that Durham Tees Valley will be one of six domestic routes added once the expansion is completed is welcome and we look forward to working with them and airline partners to explore this in the future.”
Not sure who would operate the route, and the runway isn't guaranteed yet!
