Background Information

DTVA Terminal Durham Tees Valley Airport (DTVA) was originally an important RAF airfield during the Second World War.  DTVA began commercial operations as Teesside Airport in the mid 1960's under local authority control, providing services to both the local business community and leisure passengers.

DTVA is situated 10 miles to the west of Middlesbrough in North East England.

In April 2003, Peel Airports reached an agreement with the six local authority shareholders (Durham, Darlington, Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and Redcar and Cleveland Borough Councils), to acquire a 75 percent shareholding in the Airport with the local authorities retaining a 25 percent interest in the company. In June 2010, Vancouver Airport Services acquired a 65 percent share in Peel Airports, which includes DTVA.   The six local authorities continue to own 25 percent of Durham Tees Valley Airport.

In 2010, the airport handled over 240,000 passengers.

Principle airlines providing services at the Airport include KLM and Eastern Airways. The Airport has strong links with partner airlines, including KLM whose regular services to their Amsterdam Schiphol hub, provides access to their worldwide flight network and Eastern Airways who launched a new service to Southampton last year, providing easy access to the South East. Recent additions include a new summer service to Jersey.

Significant recent investment includes the completion of a new access road to the terminal and car park improvements.

The renaming of the Airport to Durham Tees Valley Airport in 2004, helped to locate it on the international travel map, and provide a modern and convenient gateway to the region for visitors, further cementing the Airport's commitment to regional tourism.
