Flights to Dublin Airport and Belfast are among a list of new routes being unveiled at a UK airport this morning.
Teesside Airport has announced multiple daily connections to Ireland and Northern Ireland along with other UK destinations
Ahead of the announcements, Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said he was "delighted" the new routes had been secured and believed they would be "hugely popular" with the public.
The mayor added: "We only got the keys to the airport in March, and I pledged to introduce ten extra routes by 2022.
"Fast-forward ten months and we are on the right track to reach that target well before anyone expected us to do so.
“The people of Teesside have told me time and time again they want our airport to succeed.
“These additional routes I am announcing today will make our airport go from strength to strength.”
