Durham Tees Valley Airport (IATA: MME, ICAO: EGNV) is an international airport located just east of Darlington in County Durham, north-east England, about 10 mi (16 km) south-west of Middlesbrough and 24 mi (39 km) south of Durham. The airport serves County Durham and of North Yorkshire, and is situated close to the village of Middleton St George in County Durham.
Durham Tees Valley Airport is one of the United Kingdom's smaller airports, offering links to three domestic/European destinations.
