The terminal and meeting your driver

Newcastle has one passenger terminal. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board, and you get their name, car and phone number by text before you land.

The road in front of the terminal is only for the airport's own taxis and buses, so your car will be in the Express car park immediately outside the terminal. For groups of more than 7, we use the minibus car park in front of the terminal. We track your flight. Free waiting: 60 minutes from your pickup time. You choose your pickup time after landing when you book.
