New connection links Durham Tees Valley with Bergen

Eastern Airways will link Durham Tees Valley Airport with Bergen, offering an early morning connection to Norway’s second largest city.

From Monday 29 March 2010, early morning daily weekday flights from Durham Tees Valley via Aberdeen provide an alternative option to Bergen from the north east.

Weekday flights with the UK regional airline depart Durham Tees Valley at 6.40am via Aberdeen, arriving in Bergen at 11.10am local time.  Services leave Bergen at 2.40pm arriving in Durham Tees Valley at 5.10pm local time.

Roger Hage, Eastern Airways’ ground services manager, said: “The north east has had strong trade links with Norway for many years.  This new connection from Durham Tees Valley allows us to provide an alternative early morning link from the north east, enabling passengers to reach Bergen just after 11am.

“This early morning departure from the north east is aimed primarily at business travellers."

Richard Whitehouse, aviation project manager for Peel Airports, said: “I’m sure that the introduction of this quick and convenient link will be warmly welcomed by business people, both in the Tees Valley and in Norway.

“Both are major players in the oil and gas industries and centres of excellence in subsea technologies. Of course many of the thousands of workers employed in the Norwegian oil and gas industries are from the North East and Bergen serves as the main heliport base for the offshore operations.”

Bergen is located in south west Norway.  It is one of Europe’s largest cruise-liner ports and is also the gateway to the world famous fjords.  As Norway is the third largest exporter of oil in the world, there’s also a busy heliport at Bergen Flesland Airport serving the Norwegian North Sea oil and gas industry. 

Eastern Airways has been flying from Durham Tees Valley for nearly 10 years and there are four flights each weekday on its long established scheduled service to Aberdeen.

Last November, the airline introduced a new route from Durham Tees Valley to Southampton with two flights a day allowing day return journeys to the south of England for business travellers.

Also from Durham Tees Valley, the airline offers onward connections via Aberdeen to Stornoway in the Scottish Western Isles and Wick in the north of Scotland. 

A team of locally based pilots, cabin attendants and engineers support Eastern Airways’ operation from Durham Tees Valley Airport.

Passengers flying with Eastern Airways benefit from its “no compromise” service, with fast check-in and no charge for baggage, choice of seat or onboard drinks and snacks.
