A group of men climbed on to a plane next to Teesside International Airport causing what police said was £200,000 worth of damage.
About 10 people got into the field on Sunday at about 21:30 BST where the "retired" aircraft was being stored.
The men later fled the scene in several vehicles, Durham Police said.
Airport bosses said the landside site was "away from the operational airfield" and the vandals did not enter airside.
The airport added security patrols had been increased across the entire site because of what happened.
