Starbucks will be returning to Newcastle airport after eight years.
The store, which will open in May, will be located on the check-in concourse, available to all departing and arriving passengers.
The franchise has been at the airport before until it was replaced by Café Ritazza in 2015.
SSP, the food and beverage partner of Newcastle International Airport of over 20 years, will operate the new coffeehouse.
Cathy Granby, business development director UK&I, SSP said: “We’re delighted to be re-introducing Starbucks to passengers at Newcastle Airport.
"We know how important sustainability is to our customers, and as part of our continued partnership with Starbucks, we’re focussed on delivering solutions that minimise our impact on the environment, such as expanded plant-based food options, reusable packaging, and better food waste management processes.”
Dean Ward, director of commercial at Newcastle International Airport, added: “We are continually investing to enhance the customer experience at Newcastle Airport, and this Starbucks will increase the variety of refreshments available to the travelling public.
"Newcastle Airport has something for everyone, and this new store will bring back the popular high-street brand to the Airport, offering quality coffee and light food concessions.”
