NEWCASTLE Airport has taken out four major honours at the 2025 Business Hunter Awards, including the coveted Business of the Year title.
The airport also received the Contribution to the Region and Excellence in Sustainability awards, while Airlines and Partnerships Manager Matthew Borger received the Outstanding Employee award.
The honours were handed out in front of a sell-out crowd of more than 600 guests last Friday night at NEX Newcastle.
Newcastle Airport CEO Linc Horton said the recognition reflects the team’s focus on long-term value and regional impact.
“At Newcastle Airport, our purpose is clear… to be the airport the region deserves.
“These awards speak to the momentum we’ve built and the trust our community continues to place in us.
“We’ve worked hard to reframe what this airport means to our region.
“From delivering a new international terminal to launching new routes, we’re connecting people to more opportunity, and building an airport that can serve our region for decades to come.”
The Business of the Year award recognised Newcastle Airport’s strategic role in the region’s economic growth, while the Contribution to the Region award highlighted the airport’s expanding impact across tourism, aviation, defence and industry.
The Excellence in Sustainability award acknowledged its leadership in sustainable design and operations.
