Situated almost six miles northwest of Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle Airport is the 11th busiest in the UK. Serving passengers from Northumberland and Tyne and Wear, the airport is connected to the A1, with regular bus transportation services running from the city to the airport.
As with most airlines, passenger numbers at Newcastle Airport have dwindles, and as of 2011 just 4.3 million passengers passed through the airport, much less than the 5.6 million seen in the peak year of 2007. The busiest international routes from Newcastle Airport are Amsterdam, Palma de Mallorca, Alicante, Paris and Tenerife.
