THE UK's best airports have been named at the country's biggest travel awards ceremony.<\/p>\n

Passengers have picked Teesside International Airport as their favourite small UK airport for leisure travel at the 2023 British Travel Awards.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The prizes are decided by the UK's largest customer survey relating to leisure travel.<\/p>\n

It marks the end of a positive year for the airport, which has seen the highest number of passengers pass through its terminal for 11 years.<\/p>\n

The transport hub also became the first in the UK to scrap the 100ml liquid limit in security earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Teesside was the first to completely install new state-of-the-art scanners, meaning passengers no longer have to take laptops out of their bags, and can carry two litres of liquid in their hand luggage.<\/p>\n
