About Your Airport

Newcastle is a multi-award-winning Airport that proudly connects the North East region to the world. In 2025, the Airport was recognised as ‘Best Airport in Europe’, in the 2 to 5 million passenger category, at the ASQ Awards for providing exceptional customer service.

Committed to a sustainable future, the Airport is on track to achieve Net Zero Carbon status by the year 2035 and has been recognised as a 'sustainability sector leader'. The business has its own solar farm that can provide 100% of its electricity on a sunny day and it is making significant investments to transition its vehicle fleet to electric models.

Over recent years more than 46,000 trees have been planted on Airport-owned land to support its carbon offset activities and enhance biodiversity.
