Newcastle Airport - Traffic Statistics

Traffic Statistics

The airport saw significant growth in the ten years to 2007, when passenger numbers peaked at 5.65 million, more than double the number handled ten years earlier. Passenger numbers declined in the subsequent four years due to the financial crisis of 2007–2010, with 4.35 million passengers passing through the airport in 2011 (below the 2004 total), although cargo volumes have broadly increased to record levels in 2010 / 11.
