Wizz Air announces six new destinations from Doncaster Sheffield Airport

The firm has announced its expansion at the airport with the addition of a second Airbus A320 aircraft and six new routes to Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Tenerife, Lisbon and Eindhoven starting operation on October 22.

Tickets to the new destinations can already be booked on wizzair.com and in the airline’s mobile app from as low as £17.99.

It coming less than three weeks after the announcement of Wizz Air UK’s based operation at Doncaster Sheffield.

Wizz Air was one of the first airlines to introduce a range of enhanced hygiene measures, to ensure the health and safety of its customers and crew. As part of these new protocols, throughout the flight, both cabin crew and passengers are required to wear facemasks, with cabin crew also required to wear gloves.

Aircraft are regularly put through an industry-leading fogging process with an antiviral solution and, following a stringent daily cleaning schedule, all of the airline’s aircraft are further disinfected overnight with the same antiviral solution.

Owain Jones, Managing Director of Wizz Air UK said: “Customers old and new have given us a very clear message – they love the choice of new destinations to which they can travel with Wizz Air UK from our new base at Doncaster Sheffield.

"So less than three weeks after we announced the base, we’re delighted to celebrate the addition of a second Airbus A320 and six new routes, bringing more of everything that our customers love about Wizz – more local jobs, more much-needed connections for the region, more ultra-low fares to favourite holiday destinations and European cities and more reason than ever before for our customers to keep saying yes to flying from their local airport.”

Chris Harcombe, Director of Aviation Development at Doncaster Sheffield Airport, said: “We are delighted that Wizz Air has chosen to base a second aircraft permanently at Doncaster Sheffield Airport so soon after its recent announcement to open a full-based operation with us.”
