Durham Tees Valley Airport 'could gain London link'
Tue, 12 May, 2009
Durham Tees Valley Airport could gain a new service to London, it has been reported.
The Northern Echo claims airline Excelsis is planning to provide the flights for a charge "in the region of £220 return".
Spokesperson from the firm Peter Troy told the newspaper: "It is an exciting project for the business community of the north-east. We very much hope everything will be ready for an inaugural flight in early July".
The new airline would apparently plan to undertake six return trips per day to the capital.
If it comes to fruition, the service would replace the one which was provided by Bmi bmi until March this year.
The Northern Echo reports a representative from the hub had "confirmed it was in negotiations with a number of airlines to restart the route".
Those who may drive to the facility if takeoff is approved are advised it is located six miles east of Darlington on the A67.
