Friends of Teesside International Airport is 100% independent and we are not employed by the airport in any way. However, we were set up with support from airport management and work closely with them to help the airport. We seek to serve in a variety of ways, both in promoting and physically supporting operations.
The ways we help include:
- Promoting the airport and its operations.
- Helping passengers and operators in certain circumstances.
- Working to ensure the airport site is fit for purpose by clearing snow, rubbish etc.
- Providing support during airport events.
Having just moved back to Teeside, I now, as a retired nurse, have some extra time to lend a hand. I’m much encouraged by our new Mayors’ commitment to a ‘multi modal’ view of the Tees Vally, and hopefully we can now add Air to Train and Sea, in our efforts to grow the Tees Vally economy. I will attend the next monthly meeting.
