Samson Executive Jet Centre, Newcastle International Airport’s exclusive private jet facility, has announced the completion of a comprehensive refurbishment project.

Since 2022, the North East’s largest executive jet facility has seen a significant increase in passengers opting to use its professional aviation services.

Due to this increased passenger demand, the private terminal has invested in an extended departure lounge area that provides a more premium experience for the passengers using its services. 

As part of the refurbishment, the main executive departure lounge has been redesigned and extended to include more comfortable seating areas for passengers to enjoy - complimented by flat screen televisions, a selection of magazines and free of charge refreshments.

Paula Ives, General Manager of Samson Executive Jet Centre, said: “We pride ourselves in providing a professional, personal and efficient service – allowing our passengers to choose how, when and where they would like to travel. 

“For arriving passengers, we are often their very first impression of the region, and for departing passengers we work hard to ensure we provide a first-class area that they can relax in before boarding their aircraft.

“We are delighted to be able to share the results of the refurbishment project with our customers.”

As part of Newcastle International Airport, Samson Executive Jet Centre is aligning with the Airport’s ambition to become Net Zero Carbon by the year 2035. The facility has recently invested in a new fleet of electric vehicles including an electric minibus and ground handling equipment.
