Ben Houchen, Tees Valley Mayor, said: “I am delighted with today’s announcement. With larger aircraft, more flights and competitive fares, Loganair are an ambitious airline and I’m confident this will be the first of many new routes announced.
“This just shows what people have always known: there is a future for our airport. I’m certainly proud of the part I’ve played to put Teesside Airport back on the agenda as I progress with my election pledge.”
