NEW DEAL BOOSTS NEWCASTLE AIRPORT AS INTERNATIONAL GATEWAY

Newcastle Airport

Destination NSW has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Newcastle Airport to help secure new domestic and international routes.

The MOU supports Newcastle Airport to become a global gateway when its upgraded international terminal opens in 2025.

The $250 million upgrade is projected to increase annual visitor numbers by 850,000 each year and inject $6.2 billion into the NSW visitor economy.

Destination NSW also held Inbound Strategy Workshops this week in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley to prepare businesses to sell experiences via travel distribution channels to international visitors arriving in NSW via Newcastle Airport. An online workshop will be held on 19 September 2024. Register here.
