All about Durham Tees Valley Airport

Dating back to 1941, the airport was originally an RAF station but then became Teesside International in 1964. In 2004 the airport was renamed Durham Tees Valley Airport as part of a major redevelopment plan. The name came about to allow it to be placed better geographically, as many international passengers were unfamiliar with the location of Teesside and Durham is more well-known.
