Treasures buried in time capsule for future generations to dig up

The youngsters from Ponteland Beavers helped fill the capsule with mementos and photos that capture life at the Airport and the wider community in 2025.

They then helped bury the capsule next to the air traffic control tower. Among the items that were sealed away were maps from the Airport's 2040 Masterplan, outlining how it will grow and develop over the next 15 years.

There was also a copy of the Airport's Horizons magazine showcasing the wide range of destinations available to passengers and a roadmap detailing the Airport's journey to Net Zero Carbon status by 2035.

A travel catalogue, daily newspaper, cocktail menu from Airport bar Aster & Thyme and commemorative lanyards, tote bags and pens which were given to the staff to celebrate the Airport's landmark birthday were also placed in the capsule.
