Teesside International Airport has secured a landmark air freight deal with UK-based carrier European Cargo, marking a major expansion of cargo operations at the airport. <\/p>\n

Under the agreement, European Cargo will establish a new operational base at the airport and begin operating five weekly long-haul freight flights to China. The service is expected to handle up to 375 tonnes of cargo each week, creating new export capacity for businesses across the region. <\/p>\n

The multi-million-pound deal will see the carrier operate its Airbus A340-600 aircraft from Teesside. The move is aimed at strengthening international trade links and improving direct access to global markets for manufacturers and exporters in the North of England. <\/p>\n

Airport officials said the agreement represents a significant milestone in the airport\u2019s growth plans and reinforces its position as a developing logistics hub. The new cargo base is also expected to support job creation and attract further commercial activity to the airport\u2019s business park. <\/p>\n

European Cargo said establishing operations at Teesside forms part of its strategy to expand its UK footprint and enhance connectivity between Britain and key international trade centres. <\/p>\n

The development builds on recent private-sector investment at the airport, including new aviation-related facilities and infrastructure projects designed to support long-term growth. <\/p>\n
