Airport Railway Station serves as the key transport hub for Newcastle International Airport, operated by Nexus as part of the Tyne and Wear Metro network. The station provides light rail connectivity, allowing passengers to travel directly between the airport terminal and the city centre without requiring a car or bus transfer. The journey takes around 30 minutes, with frequent services throughout the day.
The station is fully accessible to wheelchair users and those with reduced mobility, with lifts, level boarding, and accessible facilities throughout. Located at the airport itself, it forms part of the integrated transport infrastructure designed to connect Newcastle’s main travel gateway to the wider metropolitan area. The Metro service runs seven days a week, offering a convenient and cost-effective alternative to taxis or parking for both departing and arriving passengers.
