In spite of a near-total shutdown during the Covid-19 lockdowns, Phil Forster, the Interim Managing Director of Teesside International Airport, is optimistic as he surveys the future of an airport that had once looked doomed to fail.
Since it was acquired by the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority in early 2019, the airport has added multiple new destinations to its departure board, welcomed new and returning airlines and started work on the transformation of its terminal building. Forster, appointed to his current role in December, says he is determined to consolidate and build on these successes and to “create an airport that Teesside can be proud of”.
