The arrival hall at Teesside Airport is undergoing a significant renovation.

With major construction work now taking place to transform the arrivals hall, Teesside International Airport (MME) is becoming more welcoming than ever.

In addition to fresh flooring and painting work to enhance the overall passenger experience, the room has been remodelled, with new walls and signage to help direct passengers and make navigating through arrivals as smooth as possible.

As part of the pledge by Tees Valley Mayor, Ben Houchen, and Teesside Airport to support local businesses and staff, the renovations are being carried out by Stockton-based MJ Joinery and Ideal Decorators North East.

Again with new carpeting, paint and signage making the entrance more inviting and easy to navigate, the redesign follows similar changes made in the departures lounge. 

The improvements were unveiled just days after it was announced that from 7 September 2020, famous flights to Aberdeen and Belfast will operate twice daily. Recently, the airport has also secured a new route to London Heathrow Airport (LHR), the largest airport in the United Kingdom, with a service scheduled to begin operations on 14 September 2020.

Houchen said The arrivals hall at Teesside International will be the first thing for many visitors and investors that they have seen in our area, and we had to give it a facelift and get it out of the 70s." It is important that we give a great first impression to those coming, because investment in our region will not come on a bus, it will come through that terminal. We need to project our region's image as new, optimistic and a great place to invest, live, visit and work, and that's exactly what this revamp is going to do.

A huge strand of our work here has been from the first day of getting this airport back into public ownership, investing in the passenger experience and transforming the site into one we can be proud of. The enhanced areas of departures and arrivals complement our new and expanded routes and demonstrate that when our Southside construction is complete, we will soon be open to doing business, a key component of my job strategy. We are backing our employees and demonstrating the direct importance of the airport in Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool today by again using local companies to carry out our upgrade work," he added."

All study is carried out in compliance with the COVID-19 protection and social distancing guidelines of the UK government. New health and safety initiatives have now been placed in place for the airport for the security and safety of staff and travelers, with six easy steps currently in service, including hand sanitisation points and face masks.

Reduce the number of COVID-19 tests conducted at the airport in Hawaii County

Image
Hawaii County tourism officials have reported a decrease in the number of COVID-19 tests being done after less than one percent returned positive. Hawaii County Mayor Harry Kim said 12,636 post-flight tests were conducted on the island last Monday, according to the Hawaii Tribune-Herald, and less than one percent were positive for coronavirus. Overall, 97 of the post-flight antigen tests administered returned positive, leading to additional tests of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The more precise test showed that 17 travelers were positive for COVID-19. As a result, a post-flight antigen test will only be conducted on 25 percent of travelers arriving at Onizuka International Airport in Kona. With random testing considered unethical, officials from Hawaii County are working on how to pick travelers for testing. "Kim told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald, "I don't drink, but they tell me that it's the same idea as pulling over random cars for a DUI exam. "They'

Branded Airline and Hotel Google Search Volume Drops

Unquestionably, the coronavirus has had a devastating impact on the airline and hotel industries, a fact that has been further evidenced in findings from SEMrush, a trends data analytic firm, which tracked Google search volume for the two travel segments. The company’s industry-wide, branded airline searches found a 17 percent decline from January through February. The hardest hit carriers were Bangkok Airways (-33 percent), China Eastern (-33 percent) and China Southern (-45 percent.) On a brighter note, searches were expected to increase on average by 16.5 percent in March, according to SEMrush. Meanwhile, airlines were extremely active on social media in February and March in order to conduct “damage control,” the company said. SEMrush also conducted a Twitter sentiment analysis to gauge reaction to each global carrier. The most tweeted airlines were, respectively, Delta Air Lines, Ryanair, EasyJet, American Airlines, British Airways, Lufthansa, Qantas, Southwest Airlines and
