Newcastle Airport CEO Paul Hughes said that the final annual passenger figures had “exceeded our original expectations”, helped in part by the introduction of an extra daily service to the Gold Coast in July and to Melbourne in December, with major events such as the RAAF Airshow and commencement of P&O Cruises from Newcastle also contributing to the boost in passenger numbers.
