Wonderful breaking news this morning that Teesside Airport has been officially SAVED! Well done to all involved in a truly remarkable campaign.
There are thanks due to many people, but one more so than any other: Ben Houchen, our Tees Valley Mayor. He had the courage and the vision to stand up for this, and he has delivered. I'm proud to call him a friend.
This is a great day for the Tees Valley and now the hard work can begin to build the airport back up to what it can and should be!
