The NSW Government has taken an important step in supporting Newcastle Airport to become a global gateway when its upgraded international terminal opens in 2025.
The government’s tourism and events agency Destination NSW has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Newcastle Airport to help the airport secure agreements with airlines for new international and domestic routes.
This agreement makes available financial support to Newcastle Airport from the Aviation Attraction Fund for a two-year period from when new routes commence. The funding package includes route incentives for airlines and strategic marketing support.
