Newcastle Airport (NCL)
Located just 6 miles outside of the city centre, Newcastle Airport is the largest airport in the Northeast of England and is in the top fifteen busiest airports in the UK today. More than 3 million passengers pass through the airport every single year and that number is growing annually as a result of the accessibility it offers the people of the Northeast.
Newcastle Airport was opened in 1935 as the home of the Newcastle Aero Club, which was founded in 1925. That club still exists today and is the oldest in the country, operating out of the airport alongside the commercial flights. The first commercial flights started in the 1950s as a result of the invention of the package holiday but it really started to see some traffic in the 1970s and 1980s after renovations and improvements to the site.
