Newcastle International Airport is the 9th Largest in the UK. The Airport is
growing rapidly and in 2005 is expected to handle around 5.5 million passengers.
The majority of flights go to domestic and European destinations with some Long Haul
destinations which will include New York (American Airlines) from 2006.
To get to Newcastle International Airport from the north take the A1 which links
directly to the A696 dual carriageway. This leads directly to the airport. From
the south take the A1 Northbound, this by-passes the city centre and joins the
A696 direct to the airport.
