How to get to Newcastle Airport

Being in the heart of the North East, Newcastle International Airport is an extremely accessible regional airport.

As the A1 is a principal north/south road, it bypasses the city centre and leads directly to the airport by car.

It is 45 minutes from Durham and Sunderland, an hour from Darlington, and two hours from York and Leeds.

If you are travelling by car from the north, the A1 is the principal road linking to the dual carriageway A696 which leads directly to Newcastle International Airport.

From Edinburgh, the A68/A696 provides a direct road to the airport.

Plus, new upgrades to the A74 between Glasgow and Carlisle now make the journey to Newcastle International Airport even easier.

From the south, drive north on the A1 - the road bypasses Newcastle city centre and connects with the upgraded A696.

From the west, the A69 links with the A1 and then the A696, providing a direct route to Newcastle International Airport.

Plus, Newcastle International Airport is well connected to the North East rail network by the Metro service.

The journey from Newcastle Central Station to Newcastle Airport takes around 25 minutes.

How much is drop-off at Newcastle Airport?

The Express car park costs £6 for up to 10 minutes, £12 for up to 30 minutes, £16 for up to 45 minutes and £20 for up to one hour.

Short Stay 2 costs £4 for up to 15 minutes.

Exit barriers take cards only. Cash users must use a designated payment machine.

Which car park is closest to the terminal?

Short Stay 1 is immediately outside the terminal entrance.

Short Stay 2 is also a short walk away.

Premium Fast Track is about 30 metres from check-in, and Premium Meet & Greet leaves about a one-minute walk after vehicle handover.

Shopping and dining before a flight

Who owns Newcastle Airport?

Newcastle International Airport is jointly owned by seven North East local authorities and a subsidiary of Aena, the Spanish state-owned airport operator, following the completion of a deal earlier this year that brought Europe's largest airport group into the region.

More seats inside airport

450 extra seats have been added to the departure lounge as part of a major investment programme aimed at improving the customer experience.

The additional seating has been created through extensions to Burger King and Tap + Brew, giving travellers more space to relax, dine and enjoy views across the airfield from the terminal’s floor-to-ceiling windows.

The latest developments are part of almost £60 million invested in airport facilities over the last few years, with a focus on enhancing capacity and delivering what the airport describes as a “world-class passenger experience”.
