The decision by bmi to end its three flights a day between Durham-Tees Valley and Heathrow is a huge blow to the region's economic prospects.
Today, The Northern Echo launched a "Keep the region flying" campaign, calling for this vital link to be restored.
We need businesses and decision-makers to get behind the campaign. Please register your support at www.thenorthernecho.co.uk.
