Teesside International Airport Consultative Committee
Teesside Airport has long recognised the benefits of dialogue and good relations with both its users and neighbours.
The Government legislated to formalise consultation at Airports more than 40 years ago. Parliament passed the Civil Aviation Act 1982 of which Section 35 states:
(1) This section applies to any aerodrome which is designated for the purposes of this section by an Order made by the Secretary of State.
(2) The person having the management of any aerodrome to which this section applies shall provide:

(c) for any other organisation representing the interests of persons concerned with the locality in which the aerodrome is situated, adequate facilities for consultation with respect to any matter concerning the management or administration of the aerodrome which affects their interests.”
