## About This Content
Newcastle International Airport is situated in the area of Newcastle upon
Tyne, England, about 6 miles north of the city centre. Newcastle International
was rated the 11th busiest airport in the UK, and the second busiest in
Northern England, with Manchester coming first, handling over 4.8 million
passengers.
The airport is owned by seven local authorities: City of Newcastle, City of
Sunderland, Durham County Council, Gateshead MBC, North Tyneside MBC,
Northumberland County Council and South Tyneside MBC. Copenhagen Airport sold
the stake in Newcastle to AMP Capital, which is an Australian based investment
company.
Newcastle airport was opened on 26th July 1935 and was known back then as
Woolsington Aerodrome – the airport was opened by Sirt Phillip Cunliffe-
Lister, Secretary of State for Air. At this time, the airport consisted of one
clubhouse, one hangar, few workshops, a fuel garage and a single grass runway
with a building cost of around £35,000.
