Newcastle Airport is kicking off its 90th birthday celebrations with a host of exhibitions across the region - the first exhibition is open in the airport and showcases its remarkable history.
Delve into key moments of the Airport’s past, including its vital role during World War Two training pilots in the RAF Volunteer Reserve, thousands of people giving US President Jimmy Carter a real Geordie welcome during his visit to the region in 1977 and the significant investments to transform the runway, terminal and air traffic control tower over the years.
A fascinating collection of artefacts will also be on display, including vintage cabin crew uniforms, pieces of the runway and a commemorative plaque featuring the handprints of Geordie favourites Ant and Dec, unveiled during the terminal extension in 2004.
The exhibition will be on display in the terminal throughout the year, with the Airport celebrating its 90th birthday on 26th July.
