Newcastle Airport (NCL) Information

Introduction

Newcastle Airport is a modern, well-designed transport hub that handles approximately 3.3 million passengers annually and offers a wide range of domestic and European flights, as well as transatlantic services. The airport has a single terminal catering to both domestic and international arrivals and departures.

Airport Parking at Newcastle

A short-term parking lot is located close to the terminal building, while long-term parking is situated farther away, and connected to the terminal by means of a 24-hour, free shuttle bus. Pre-booked parking is also available and highly recommended. It can be difficult to secure a preferable parking space if you do not book ahead.
