Plan for new airport hangar to be built
Plans have been announced for a new hangar to be built at a regional airport. Teesside International Airport in Darlington will house the structure to store a fleet of planes and provide office and workshop space. It will be used by Draken, which provides training for organisations such as the RAF and the US Air Force and recently signed a £173m contract with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to retain its operations at Teesside Airport. Planning documents said: "The new hangar will provide a modern facility for the storage of aircraft that meets government energy performance requirements." The site is about 1.35 hectares and is currently a piece of undeveloped grassland within the airport grounds. The airport said Draken already occupied two hangers at the site and the new structure would be next to them, with a new parking area also created. The documents said the hanger would support their L-159 "Honey Badger" fighter planes. Follow BBC Tees on X, Facebook, Nextdoor and Instagram.
