The airport was also the first airport in the UK to scrap the 100ml liquid restrictions at security thanks to its scanner upgrades – making it even more efficient and easy to catch a flight.

“We’ve transformed our terminal building to make it even more efficient and accessible to all – and our doors are wide open to welcome passengers from across the Tees Valley, County Durham and wider North East.

“With our worldwide connections from Amsterdam through KLM, and our popular holiday flights with TUI and Ryanair, we’re seeing more people choose us, and I’m excited to see Dalaman back on our departure boards in May.”

Tom Seymour, Sales Director at Durham Cricket added: “Teesside International Airport is now one of the region’s key assets and we are delighted to have extended the deal for another two-years.

“Teesside Airport and its brand are recognised throughout the region and with new flight routes being added on a regular basis, including flights to six countries across Europe this summer, it is an exciting time to be working with them over the next few years.”
