Newcastle: General Airport News, Updates & Discussion

To me the bottom corner looks like it may be a cloud? So rather than being a clue, it just looks like the sky... maybe the final picture will be of a plane in the livery rather than a logo or anything

Could be part of the white star that's part of their logo.

Other suggestions onlun have been Turkish or Qatar.

Suggested elsewhere but apparently it's the same colour as Air Transats new livery.

Got to admit, that blue looks very similar.

Would be a good route for Newcastle!
And I'd it is Air Transat it would make me wonder if it's the only UK to be announced and if it is why Newcastle and not bigger airports?

Newcastle Airport revises car parking tariffs

www.newcastleairport.com

Despite the recent return of some scheduled flights to Newcastle International Airport, the outlook for aviation following the COVID-19 crisis remains very uncertain for potentially a prolonged period of time.

From 15th July 2020 the Airport’s ‘gate’ car parking tariffs will be changing. This will include an increase to the Express Car Park tariff to £3 for 10 minutes. This decision has been taken as part of a review of pricing that enables us to offer competitive self-park rates yet respond to challenging business conditions.

Almost trying to make a virtue of the situation. In their anxiety to justify the increase they are actually being negative (some might say realistic) about the length of time aviation will take to recover from the virus effects. If I was a NCL user, especially an occasional user, I might think it's not worth booking a flight for the foreseeable future if the airport believes it might be affected by COVID-19 or a 'prolonged period of time'.

Having said that, it appears their new charges bring them into line with a number of other airports.

I imagine many airports will do the same and increase parking prices to bring in much needed extra revenue.

They may well but it wasn't really the increase that interested me because I've often said that if an airport puts on a couple of quid on car parking charges the world is coming to an end according to some people, yet the same people would not bat an eyelid if an airline increased fares by the same amount. What amused me was the the way the justification was framed.
