Accessibility

Newcastle Airport is committed to ensuring our websites are accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of any physical or hidden disabilities that they may have. The below measures have been considered when developing this website to ensure it is accessible for all: 

Standard Compliance

• This site is built using valid HTML.
• The site uses valid CSS for visual layout and styling.
• The site conforms to the W3C's WCAG 2.0 guidelines Priority 2 (AA).
• The site uses structured semantic markup. For example, table markup is used for data tables, lists are marked up using list elements, and headings are marked up as headings and so on.

Images

• Where possible, content images on the site use descriptive ALT attributes.
• Purely decorative images include null ALT attributes.

Visual Design

• Text is sized using relative units to allow it to be resized by users of any browser or other user agent.
• With the exception of purely visual elements such as maps, primary content is structured so as to be readable in any browser, regardless of whether it supports images, style sheets, scripting or plug-ins.

Browser Toolbars

• The website has been designed to be compatible with all of the most popular browser accessibility tools. These allow users to access a range of additional functions such as screen readers, high contrast modes and simplified views.
