Newcastle Airport Takes Off as a Global Gateway for the Hunter Region

A Landmark Year for Newcastle Airport


2025 has marked a defining chapter in the evolution of Newcastle Airport, firmly positioning it as one of Australia’s most important regional aviation hubs. The opening of the brand new international terminal has transformed the travel experience, creating a modern, welcoming gateway that reflects the pride, character and ambition of the Hunter Region. Designed to connect the region directly to the world, the terminal has elevated Newcastle Airport from a domestic convenience to a genuine international departure point.

This milestone has not only improved passenger comfort and efficiency but has also strengthened the region’s appeal for inbound tourism, business travel and global connectivity.

More Destinations, More Choice for Travellers

The expansion of Newcastle Airport’s route map has delivered more flexibility and opportunity for travellers choosing to fly local. New and enhanced services have opened up both domestic and international possibilities, giving passengers more reasons to start their journey closer to home.

Travellers can now fly direct or with seamless connections to key destinations including Bali, Perth, Hobart and Singapore via Bali. The Perth service places Europe within easy reach with just one stop, while the Bali route continues to be a popular gateway to Asia and beyond.

Each new destination reinforces Newcastle Airport’s growing role as a strategic connector for regional New South Wales.

Singapore via Bali Made Easy

From 29 March 2026, Jetstar’s new one-stop, same-plane service from Newcastle to Singapore via Bali will redefine international travel from the region. Designed for convenience and simplicity, this service removes the stress often associated with international connections.

Passengers will depart Newcastle after breakfast, enjoy a short stop in Bali without changing planes, and arrive in Singapore in time for dinner. Luggage travels straight through on both outbound and return journeys, eliminating the need to recheck bags and ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted travel experience.

This service is ideal for holidaymakers, business travellers and those connecting onward into Asia, offering a streamlined journey that begins and ends at Newcastle Airport.

Flying Local Shapes the Future

Every decision to fly from Newcastle Airport in 2025 has directly contributed to its growth. Community support has driven increased demand, encouraged airlines to invest and helped unlock new routes that benefit the entire region. Skipping the M1 has become more than a convenience; it has become a statement of confidence in the future of regional aviation.

The airport’s momentum shows no sign of slowing, with continued investment, expanded services and a clear commitment to delivering world-class travel experiences close to home.

Newcastle Airport’s Global Vision

With a state-of-the-art international terminal, an expanding route network and innovative services like Singapore via Bali, Newcastle Airport is setting a new benchmark for regional airports in Australia. It is not just keeping pace with traveller expectations but actively shaping the future of how the Hunter Region connects with the world.
