Jumping on a flight overseas could be a whole lot easier when the state government announce funding for Newcastle airport to cater for international passenger flights.
The government will announce $850,000 to fit out the terminal before the end of the year.
The major upgrade will make it possible for Novocastrians and people across the Hunter to jump on a flight close to home, rather than make the long journey down to Sydney Airport.
Airport management will now start talks with airlines to discuss flights to Bali, Fiji and New Zealand.
The announcement comes a year before Badgerys Creek Airport, which will make Newcastle the second International airport in NSW.
