Inside Newcastle Airport's new Aspire Lounge including first class suite with exclusive runway views

Take a look inside Newcastle International Airport's Aspire Executive Lounge, which offers economy, business and first-class capabilities in one space for travellers.

The Classic Lounge offers an updated experience with a stocked bar and hot and cold food, and comes in at the lowest price point. The Luxe and Suite options are an upgrade on this, with further options and a great view of the runway for any people who are keen plane spotters.

David Collyer, Global Vice President of Executive Lounges at Swissport, said: "I come from a background in hospitality and I always wanted the experience of a hotel guest to translate to the same thing in an airport passenger experience. We looked at data and trend spotted, in order to look at the future and upgrade the options that travellers have.

"We decided to cater for everyone, and went through a design and testing period, when people were clearly anticipating us coming back to the airport. Due to our partnership with British Airways we were able to knock through into their old lounge and expand our offering through this.

"We believe that this is a fantastic product and I am personally very happy with the results. One of the best things about working in this industry is that we will be here for a long time so we can perfect the service that we offer as much as possible."
