Popular North East bakery Greggs has reopened its store at Newcastle Airport after a refurbishment.
Located in the airport's check-in area, Greggs has undergone a complete makeover to enhance the customer experience and is now open 24/7.
As part of the refurbishment, Greggs has introduced a range of new menu items.
Dean Ward, director of commercial at Newcastle Airport, said: "We are delighted Greggs has reopened its store at Newcastle Airport following a major refurbishment.
"Greggs has always been a valued part of the airport experience and we are confident the new and improved menu, paired with the shop’s fresh new look, will be hugely popular with our customers."
Customers can now enjoy chicken burgers, fish finger sandwiches, and hot wraps before jetting off on a tropical trip or reuniting with loved ones after baggage reclaim.
These additions are served alongside a selection of over-ice drinks, including iced salted caramel latte, strawberry lemonade, and mango and strawberry cooler.

New menu items join Greggs' existing range of freshly prepared favourites, such as sausage rolls, steak bakes, and vegan alternatives.
The shop's refurbishment comes after the airport was recently recognised as the best in the world at the Routes World Conference 2024 in Bahrain.
Gillian Long, retail operations director, said: "We’re excited to be welcoming customers to our new and improved shop at Newcastle Airport.
"We look forward to providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their Greggs favourites."
The refurbishment is part of a wider £20 million investment in the airport's terminal and infrastructure.
This includes a £17 million project to resurface the airport's runway and a further £3 million will be spent on improving the departure lounge experience and retail outlets.
In addition to the refurbishment, Greggs is offering value deals throughout the day.
These include a breakfast roll or baguette deal served until 11am every day, and a post-4pm pizza deal.
