Save Teesside Airport. Calling on Northern Powerhouse Minister James Wharton to help...
Why this petition matters

Teesside Airport is at death's door - this is evidenced by the staggering decline in numbers of flights and passenger numbers.
Because Teesside Steel has now gone, the loss of Teesside Airport would send three shocking messages to the whole world:
1. Teesside is struggling
2. Teesside doesn't have a great future
3. Don't think about investing in Teesside
If Teesside Airport can be saved then action needs to be taken quickly. I'm calling on James Wharton MP - Minister For Northern Powerhouse - to swiftly examine the strange decline of Teesside Airport and reassure the public.
We need to know that he believes it can play a key role in Teesside's ability to win investment, jobs and prosperity.
Teesside has lost its steel. Weak politicians have overseen the decline of a once proud airport - let's act now before it's too late.
