At Newcastle Airport, we’re committed to making your journey as smooth and stress-free as possible. If you have a disability or need extra support, here’s what to know about getting through security.
Pack smart: Place any liquids (max 100ml), electronics, and personal items into your hand luggage before you reach the security area.
Mobility aids & medical devices: These are welcome but may be screened separately. Let a member of our team know if you need help.
Please note: double-skinned containers (like thermos flasks) can’t be scanned—even if empty—so they can’t go through security.
Place your coat or jacket in a tray, and pop your hand baggage on top.
Our team will explain the next steps and help you through the process at your own pace.
If selected for a body scan, we’ll ask if you're able to stand for a few seconds. If not, we’ll provide an alternative screening option.
Prefer not to use the scanner? Just let us know—we can arrange a private search.
You’re welcome to bring essential medication or medical equipment in your hand luggage.
Please carry a prescription or letter from a medical professional to help speed up the process.
These items will go through a separate screening, and our staff will assist with care and discretion.
Body scanners are safe for passengers with pacemakers, defibrillators, or similar medical implants.
If you use a stoma bag or other medical appliance, our staff are trained to handle these situations with sensitivity and respect.
