Newcastle Airport Parking

Newcastle Airport information

In 2016 over 4.8 million passengers passed through Newcastle Airport, making it the 11th busiest in the UK. This international airport, 5.8 miles from the city centre, is owned by seven local authorities and an Australian-based Investment Management Company.

Since it first opened in 1935 as Woolsington Aerodrome, it has continued to grow with passenger travel really starting to take off on the 60’s when the brits started to take their holidays in countries like Spain.

In 2004 the Departure Terminal was extended and refurbished with new shops, cafes and 1,200 new waiting seats needed for the growing number of passengers travelling to one of the 80 destinations now served.

How to Get to Newcastle Airport

Newcastle Airport is easily accessible from the A1 which bypasses the city centre leading directly to the airport. Just 15 minutes from Newcastle and near many major cities, such as Sunderland and Durham both 45 minutes away and Edinburgh a mere 2-hour trip.

For those travellers using their trusty sat nav the postcode is NE13 8BZ.
