Teesside International Airport unveils vision for new 'Sky Bar'

Teesside International Airport has revealed plans for a brand new Sky Bar and viewing platform.

The new development will replace the old outdoor viewing platform, located at ground level beside the terminal building, and which has remained closed for a number of years.

The plans have been drawn up by Darlington-based architecture firm Corstorphine & Wright, who were previously involved in the airport’s multi-million pound terminal transformation and who have also led on designs for the new-look Steel House Teesworks headquarters, currently under development.

Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said: “The airport’s old viewing platform was much-loved, well-used and there have been frequent calls from people across the region to have it reopened.

“We’ve listened to that reaction and, to bring the viewing platform up to date and in keeping with the airport’s refreshed new look fit for the 21st century, we are incorporating it into our recently transformed terminal building.

“We’re using the same locally based architects responsible for the previous upgrade, Corstorphine & Wright, to make sure it’s up to standard and in keeping with the rest of the terminal.”

Work is set to begin on the development before the end of the year, with it due to be opened for next year’s summer season.
