Newcastle Airport has received funding from the NSW Government for strategic marketing support when its upgraded international terminal opens in 2025.
The government’s tourism and events agency Destination NSW has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Newcastle Airport to provide financial support to Newcastle Airport for a two-year period from when new routes commence.
The funding package includes route incentives for airlines and strategic marketing support.
The $250 million upgrade to Newcastle Airport, jointly owned by the City of Newcastle and Port Stephens Council, will open a new gateway for domestic and international visitors to access the Hunter region and NSW Mid-North Coast.
The Aviation Attraction Fund was open for applications from February 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023.
