The Northern Echo - Leigh Jones
Newcastle International Airport is celebrating the fact that 4 million passengers have travelled through the airport so far during 2022.
The 4 millionth passenger, Neisha from Newcastle, was travelling to Paris for a "girls' weekend" and was surprised with the gift of free return tickets to Paris from Newcastle Airport.
The airport expects it will have hosted 4.1 million travellers during 2022 by the end of this month, and it reflects a strong recovery following Covid-related travel restrictions and low confidence from travellers in general over the last few years.
