Depending on the route, it could be a very handy service actually. Opens the possibility of being able to catch the very early trains from Central Station, assuming it stops within walking distance.
Given they seemingly couldn't turn enough of a profit to make the Newcastle night buses sustainable where they linked the night-time economy with various residential, heavily bussed in daytime, areas I can't see how a route to the airport in the early hours for the minority who can afford to fly but not get a taxi is going to be any more sustainable. Likewise airport staff again presumably already have alternative arrangements - yes there may be a minorty who live on the route or are able to teleport to Newgate St to catch the only bus operating in the city but I'd guess its more of a car sized than bus sized demand.
