ALERT: Newcastle Airport runway closed due to flooding

Direct News Source

As of 6.10pm Sunday, 21 March flights in and out of Newcastle Airport have been suspended, due to local flooding of the airfield.

Given the condition of the runway and an unfavourable weather forecast, the closure is currently scheduled to remain in place until Midday Wednesday, 24 March.

Regular assessments of the airfield, will however, take place between now and then and may result in an earlier resumption of flights.

All people booked or looking to fly to or from Newcastle Airport between Sunday evening and Midday Wednesday should contact their airline directly for more details.
