Pictures show Teesside Airport's drastic new social distancing measures

The Northern Echo has had a look around at Teesside Airport to see what travel during the coronavirus pandemic will actually look like.

The airport has remained closed for the past three months following the government's advice against 'all but essential' travel.

Since then, airport staff have been readying the terminal to ensure that social distancing measures can be met as flights begin to return. 

Here's how the airport looks now
