Airports serving Newcastle

Newcastle is served by a single airport — Newcastle International — 7 miles northwest of the city in Woolsington. It's the Northeast's only significant international airport and one of the UK's earliest with a direct Metro connection.

Why NCL punches above its weight: Emirates daily to Dubai gives the Northeast a direct gateway to Asia, Africa and Australia — rare outside Manchester/London. easyJet and Jet2 both base aircraft here, and the airport's Metro link means no taxi queues. If you're in Tyneside, Wearside or Durham, there's rarely a reason to travel to Leeds or Manchester.

Common questions

Does Newcastle Airport have long-haul flights?
Yes — Emirates operates daily to Dubai with a Boeing 777, giving the Northeast direct access to the Gulf plus onward connections to Asia, Africa and Australia. TUI Airways runs seasonal flights to Orlando Sanford and Mexico. For the US you'll otherwise connect via London, Dublin or Amsterdam.
