With the 2025 NRL season in full swing, Newcastle Airport is proud to partner with the Newcastle Knights for the 2025 NRL season sponsoring jersey number 5 (currently worn by winger Greg Marzhew) as part of the Knights Club17 initiative.
Newcastle Airport Executive GM Marketing and Communications Burcak Sezer said partnering with Newcastle Knights celebrates what makes Newcastle iconic and strengthens regional pride.
“The Newcastle Knights bring strength, heart and spirit every time they represent the community and we are committed to connecting and promoting our region to the world while supporting these values that make Newcastle special,” Ms Sezer said.
“We selected Jersey 5 at the Newcastle Knights Club17 selection event earlier this month and we couldn’t be happier. All of the Knights are top-tier players, and we recognise the critical role wingers play.”
Newcastle Airport’s partnership with the Newcastle Knights will enhance fan experiences with:
- Player appearances and events at the airport.
- In-terminal giveaways including Knights tickets and VIP game experiences.
- Opportunities to promote the airport’s expansion and new routes, whilst celebrating Knights achievements during the season.
- Special offers for Wests members.
- Flight voucher giveaways during the season.
Knights Director of Football Peter Parr said “The Newcastle Knights are delighted to partner with the Newcastle Airport.
“This partnership aligns numerous values and objectives both our brands strive to deliver for the region, including putting Newcastle on the World map.
“When people land in Newcastle, we want them to know they are in Knights territory and when they depart they leave with happy memories of a great experience.

“We definitely see this partnership as the ‘right route’ to showcase Newcastle and our greater region as a premier destination for sports, tourism, and business.
“Your region, your airport, your team - that's the Newy Way."
Newcastle Airport Interim CEO Andrew Warrender said he looked forward to an exciting season ahead.
“The Knights' values of tradition, grit, and inspiration align the airport’s focus on community, teamwork and a positive forward-thinking approach," Mr Warrender said.
“You can bet our whole crew will be waving the red and blue when we see Jersey No.5 flying down the sideline or diving for the corner to score a try!"
