A bold new partnership between easyJet and the Tyne and Wear Metro is transforming the look and feel of travel through Newcastle city centre. Two of the network’s busiest stations, Monument and Central Station, have been reimagined in the airline’s signature orange, creating a striking and immersive passenger experience.

The collaboration goes beyond simple branding. Platforms, escalators and ticket concourses now feature prominent easyJet advertising, alongside digital display screens and large-format wall panels.

The result is a highly visible campaign that brings the airline’s identity directly into the daily journeys of millions of Metro customers.

The initiative coincides with a major milestone for the region: the launch of easyJet’s new base at Newcastle Airport in late March 2026.

The move represents a significant boost to the local economy, supporting around 1,200 jobs, including 140 roles for pilots and cabin crew.

With three aircraft stationed at the airport, EasyJet is now operating 86 weekly flights to 22 destinations across Europe and North Africa, an 85% increase on last summer.

The expansion underscores the airline’s continued investment in regional growth, strengthening connectivity and offering greater choice for travellers across the North East.

“The opening of our new Newcastle base is a hugely exciting moment for both easyJet and for the North East, and this partnership with Nexus allows us to celebrate that right in the heart of the city.

“By bringing our brand to two of the Metro’s busiest stations, we’re reaching customers at a key moment in their journey and highlighting the great choice of destinations now available from Newcastle.”
