As well as the new summer holiday
programme, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines,
which connects Tees Valley to destinations
across the world through its Amsterdam
base, continues to attract more and more
passengers every month.
Balkan has holidays from
as little as £230pp for self-
catering in June and from
only £300 all inclusive.
Amsterdam is a perfect weekend city
break but it does not have to be the final
destination. An increasing number of both
leisure and business passengers connect
through the award-winning Schiphol airport
as an international hub to access more than
200 popular worldwide destinations at great
fares.
KLM’s three seamless and efficient flights
per day can lead you to exciting destinations
such as New York, Milan and Singapore. The
efficiency of using your local airport truly
brings the world closer to home. There’s
no need to consider arduous drives to
Manchester, London or Newcastle. There’s
no need to spend even more on expensive
hotels the night before long-haul flights.
Our airport offers you that private
airport experience, no hustle or bustle –
just a straightforward, no-nonsense, great
customer experience. We even have three
hours’ free car parking so your family and
friends can wave you goodbye or give you
a hand with your luggage when you land.
And just consider that when you do
touch down here, you could be through
passport control, collect your luggage and
at your front door in as little as no time.
We are already seeing a positive change
– passenger numbers grew by 9% and 14%
in January and February, respectively.
Now plans are in motion to make your
local airport more successful than ever
before, with a ten-year turnaround plan to
get the region flying again with more than
one million passenger journeys per year.
These Balkan Holidays trips are the latest
exciting offer from an airport with a bright
future for holidaymakers, for business and
for everyone across Tees Valley.
