Newcastle International has been voted one of the best airports of its size in the UK, according to a customer survey published today by Which? Holiday magazine.
Newcastle was ranked 12th out of 36, outperforming the vast majority of airports of a similar size or larger. And unlike many of its neighbouring airports, Newcastle scored highly (3* or more) in all assessed categories, from parking and check-in to shops and airside amenities.
Dave Laws, chief executive at Newcastle International, said: “We are very proud to have been recognised as one of the most passenger-friendly airports in the UK and to have fared much better than many airports of comparable size.
“The report also demonstrates that customers still prefer to travel from their local airport, a fact that is particularly encouraging given the tough economic climate at present. In many ways, Newcastle International offers customers the best of both worlds – it’s small enough to be friendly, yet large enough to provide flights to a large number of exciting destinations across the globe.
Chris continued: “Our company’s goal is to become recognised as the most welcoming airport in the UK and this report shows we’re well on the way to achieving this aim.”
