A sample copy of the Newcastle Airport Ground Transport Access Licence can be downloaded below for reference. You can download a SAMPLE copy of the licence below:

Newcastle Airport Pty Limited site access licence

 

The pick up and drop off areas are highlighted on the map which can be downloaded here.

A licence is required for all vehicles accessing the airport. 

The length of the licence is 12 months. Once you complete an application form and it is accepted, a ground access licence will be issued to you for signing and be executed by our team. The annual licence fee will be invoiced for payment. Once the licence has been paid for, you can then commence pick up and drop offs from Newcastle Airport.

The charge of $400 for one vehicle equates to a charge of $1.09 cents per day. An amount that is cheaper than utilising the car park every time you access the site.

If you are operating a commercial business with operations to or from Newcastle Airport you are required to have a ground access licence. 

An access licence will give you the right to pick-up or drop-off from the designated areas at the front of the terminal.
