• Category 9 status firefighting capabilities.
  
  
• A proven track record of handling wide-bodied aircraft, including Emirates’ daily service, which has operated since 1st September 2007.

• Flying directly from the North East's largest Airport results in less handling of goods, meaning less chance of loss, damage, or missed connections.
  
  
• Our relative proximity and lack of congestion will drive efficiencies and support sustainability goals.
  
  
• For operations in the North of England, using an Airport closer to you helps reduce logistic issues caused by weather, scheduling, and cancellations.
