A NEW air taxi service for the region's business community is due to start flying from Teesside Airport.
Northern Aviation has been issued an air operators' certificate for the service by the Civil Aviation Authority.
A Cessna Golden Eagle plane has been chosen for the operation.
The aircraft can carry six passengers, with two crew members.
The service is aimed at business officials, allowing them to get to meetings at short notice at locations not served by scheduled airlines.
