welcome to the new passenger experience.

excelsis, the airline that gets it. from check-in to our upscale amenities and unconventional approach to customer service, excelsis airways is changing the way people fly.

gone are the hassles of getting to and from durham. gone are the long check-in lines and unpredictable security lines. gone are the things that stand in the way of a great flight.

we’ve put years of research, planning and effort towards one goal: to become united kingdom’s premium short-haul carrier. the result is an airline – and a travel experience – like no other.

speed

how’s this for a change? the next time you fly into durham tees valley, you can actually fly into durham tees valley. that’s right, avoid the additional expense and unpredictability of trips to newcastle.

because of our central location and small airport feel, we can dramatically cut your total travel time. easy access to the airport, quick check-in and security, short taxi to the runway and a fast, modern aircraft can potentially save you hours on a round-trip flight.

convenience

excelsis airways has streamlined the entire travel process to give you the ultimate in convenience. it all starts with an airport that's easy to reach. it's just a short cab ride away, but if you want to save the fare you can take our free shuttle directly to the airport runs from durham bus/train & darlington train stations.

we've also built convenience into our passenger lounge. it's just steps from the departure gates and features free wireless internet access, complimentary coffee/tea/soft drinks, and a business centre with workstations. best of all, it's open to all excelsis passengers free of charge.

service

from top to bottom, inside and out, we are raising the bar. this new standard in air travel is evident not only in our ultra-modern facilities, but in the quality of our staff. each team member has been specially selected and trained to put travellers first with impeccable and innovative service.  (their uniforms are pretty sharp too!)
