Award winning airport

Over the years Newcastle Airport has been well recognised for its contribution to the business and tourism the industry.

Already in 2009 it has been a double-whammy win for Newcastle Airport. At the Hunter Business Awards Newcastle Airport was nominated amongst a number of prestigious organisations, and won the award for Contribution to the Region. The Airport was recognised for the significant economic benefits it generates for the region, as well its support of the community and local tourism industry.

This support of local tourism was also recognised at the annual Hunter Tourism Awards for Excellence. Newcastle Airport was delighted to be presented with the award in the Specialised Tourism Services category.  The judges highlighted the Airport’s dedication to supporting tourism in the Hunter, both cash and in-kind, and our inbound tourism marketing partnerships with the airlines and local operators – to encourage tourism growth.

Bright and light?  Check!

Following months of terminal works, our new bright and light filled check-in zone is almost ready to be unveiled.

In the coming months you will notice further improvements, including more self-service check-in kiosks, new flight information display boards and revamped check-in desks.

We hope you enjoy these improvements as much as we do!
