Huge strides have been made at Teesside International Airport in 2021.
In 2020 the airport secured key airlines and set out its further transformative plans. Now, as 2021 – and the airport’s 80th birthday – draws to a close, here are some of the most significant moments of the year.
Local firm Kromek trialled a groundbreaking coronavirus detector in the terminal. It can identify trace levels of Covid-19 within 30 minutes, helping protect passengers’ health and pilot the machine ahead of a wider rollout.
Kromek Group plc designs, develops and produces x-ray and gamma-ray imaging and radiation detection products for the medical, CBRNe security, Homeland Security and civil nuclear radiation detection markets.
