FedEx has decided to relocate its cargo operations from Newcastle International Airport to Teesside Airport, signing a five-year deal for an airfreight handling facility. This move follows Newcastle City Council's intention to curb 'illegal' parking near the airport. The decision is seen as a significant boost to Teesside Airport's turnaround plan, with local politicians highlighting the role of Ben Houchen in saving the airport from potential sale by the Labour party.
