Newcastle Airport will be open and operational tomorrow (Monday, 18 April) following the closure of the check-in hall earlier today due to storm damage.
Both arriving and departing flights will be facilitated through the arrivals hall at the eastern end of the terminal while the check-in hall is repaired.
The Newcastle Airport team has worked with airline staff to establish a manual check-in process at the airport. Due to this, passengers travelling tomorrow are advised to arrive at the airport earlier than usual to allow for the additional time needed for the manual check-in process.
Where possible, departing passengers are urged to check-in for their flight before arriving at the airport via their airline's website or app.

Word on the street is the airport could be out of action for a day or two.
Per the quote above in post #3, airport is open tomorrow, using manual check-in from the arrivals hall
