Although as your aware unlike very similar UK airports Newcastle Airport does at least have a Metro Station linking the airport to central Newcastle including the cities main railway station as well as to the wider region. In that respect Newcastle Airport does however have excellent local links via the cities Metro system. Although it's not ideal at least the major trunk road the A1 is only 3 miles distance from Newcastle Airport.
