"The new departure lounge underlines Newcastle Airport’s importance as an engine of growth for the north-east and the Northern Powerhouse."

David Laws, Chief Executive at Newcastle International Airport, added: "I am delighted the minister has officially opened our new departure lounge.

"Our passengers’ journeys, whether business or pleasure, begin right here at the airport and it’s vital we give them the best possible experience."

The new facilities are the latest boost for the north-eastern airport which handled over 4.5 million passengers last year and contributes an estimated £646 million a year to the regions economy.
