Wizz Air has announced it will open a second full-based operation for its UK-registered and licensed airline Wizz Air UK, at Doncaster Sheffield Airport, creating new routes and increasing the annual capacity of Yorkshire’s favourite airport by 300,000 seats.
Owain Jones, Managing Director of Wizz Air UK, said, “Throughout the recent challenges, we have seen a real resilience in the UK and at Doncaster Sheffield Airport in particular. This breakthrough plays an important role in our business planning and aspiration to make air travel affordable for everyone.
“We’ve been continuously driving down our costs to become the most efficient airline in Europe. Our fleet of latest-generation Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft make us the greenest airline in Europe and one Airbus A320 will take up residence at DSA from November. We currently see an underserved gap and DSA will play a key role in our plans for future growth.”
