Newcastle International Airport continues to celebrate record numbers after welcoming its one millionth passenger in 2017.
The North-EastÕs largest airport, which has now seen six years of positive year on year growth, reached the milestone as passengers checked in for ThomsonÕs direct Dreamliner service to Orlando.
To mark the occasion, staff were on hand to greet Craig McLean, the airportÕs one millionth visitor in 2017, with £100 worth of World Duty Free Vouchers.
Craig and wife Kirsty were travelling with children Emily and Poppy on the flight. The party were also joined by CraigÕs parents, with dad Brian celebrating his retirement by taking the family on holiday.
John Irving, Business Development Director at Newcastle International Airport, said: ÒWe are delighted to have already welcomed one million passengers through the terminal in 2017. It was wonderful to share the celebrations with the McLean family as they prepared to jet off on holiday to Florida.Ó
