Newcastle Airport continues to soar with latest accolade

Newcastle International Airport has added another award to its swelling trophy cabinet, securing the ‘Star UK Airport’ title at the Travel Bulletin Star Awards for the third consecutive year.

The annual awards, hosted by one of the UK’s leading travel trade news publications, celebrate excellence across the travel industry and are voted on by travel professionals.

Newcastle Airport won for its ‘outstanding support to local travel agents’ and ‘industry-leading initiatives’ that drive awareness and sales for its airline partners.

Richard Knight, chief operating officer at Newcastle Airport, said: “We are incredibly proud to be named 'Star UK Airport' at the Travel Bulletin Star Awards for the third consecutive year. 

“This award not only recognises the hard work and dedication of everyone at the airport, but also reflects the strong, trusted relationships we have built with travel agents and the wider travel industry. 

“These partnerships play an important role in helping us deliver vital connectivity for the North East region.” 

This latest accolade is part of a record-breaking awards season for the airport. Earlier this month, Newcastle Airport made history by becoming the first UK airport to be named ‘Best in the World’ at the Routes World Conference in Bahrain, while also retaining the global ‘Best Airport’ title in the 0-5 million passengers category for the second year running.

And in September, it was crowned UK and Ireland Airport of the Year at the 2024 Travel Industry Awards.

Laura Hartshorne, aviation sales manager at the airport, added: “We work hard to support our travel partners, so it’s rewarding to see our efforts have been recognised with this award. 

“We would like to thank everyone who voted for us and we look forward to continuing to work together and build on this success in the future.”
