The History of Newcastle Airport

In the 1960s, as British people started to travel to Southern European countries such as Spain, Newcastle Airport began to grow as an international travel hub, with the launching of low cost fares to Southern Europe. In the 2000s the airport completed refurbishments on its terminal, and reached record numbers of passengers serviced.
