Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (18 May) announced a new route from Teesside to Faro operating twice a week from 16^th June as part of Ryanair’s UK Summer ’21 Schedule. This new route expands Ryanair’s offer from Teesside following the airline’s return to the region this Summer with routes to Alicante, Faro and Palma de Mallorca from June, and to Corfu from July.

With quarantine-free travel now permitted to Portugal, even more flights have been added to our UK schedule in order to meet the demand from our customers.

To celebrate, Ryanair has launched a seat sale with fares available from just £19.99, for travel from June until the end of October 2021, which must be booked by midnight Thursday, 20 May, only on the Ryanair.com website.

Ryanair’s Commercial Director, Jason McGuinness, said:

“We are very pleased to announce a new route from Teesside to Faro on the back of the UK’s green list announcement. Teesside customers will now have the choice of four popular destinations this summer, with flights to Alicante, Faro and Palma de Mallorca from June, and Corfu from July.

Teesside Airport continues to deliver efficient operations and competitive airport charges, allowing for long-term traffic growth and new routes.

To celebrate this new Faro route, we are launching a seat sale with fares available from just £19.99, for travel from June until the end of October 2021, which must be booked by midnight Thursday, 20 May. Since these amazing low fares will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com and avoid missing out.”

Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said:

“This is fantastic news, and yet another vote of confidence in our airport. Of course, it has only been made possible because of the tremendous take-up of Ryanair’s flights to Alicante and Palma by local people.

Passengers are showing they’re backing our airport and Ryanair is paying back their commitment in spades. Even before the first flight has taken off, Ryanair has listened to what people have been crying out for and doubled its routes to give them a much-needed break.

 We’ve been working hard over the past few months to transform our terminal, get it fit for the 21^st century and make it easier and smoother than ever to pass through. We can’t wait to welcome people back through our doors for these great summer breaks – and our growing slate of other domestic and international flights.”
