We want our passengers and visitors to enjoy their journey through our Airport, whatever their travel purpose - visiting friends, taking a family holiday or travelling for business.
Our Newcastle Airport team and partners are here to ensure all our passengers with specific accessibility needs travel through our airport with ease and comfort.
In the terminal
Departures and arrivals are located on the ground floor, so our passengers and visitors with a disability can move through the terminal with ease.
If you require specific assistance whilst inside the terminal, such as a wheelchair, you can prearrange this with your airline. Your airline can also help with reserving tickets, baggage handling and other needs you may have during transit.

Parking
We have accessible car parking spaces for passengers and visitors with a disability in the Premium, Short Stay and Long Stay car parks. All pathways leading to the terminal from these car parks comply with Australian accessibility standards, ensuring ease of access.
Persons with a valid Disabled Parking Permit can park in the Short Stay Car Park for 60 minutes free of charge to drop off or pick up a passenger with a disability. The driver must take a ticket upon entry and be able to show a valid disability parking permit. If you are using this service, please let one of our uniformed airport staff members know and they will adjust your ticket and provide any assistance needed.
