Doncaster expands

DONCASTER AIRPORT is to be a major base for easyJet from next April onwards.  In what can be considered a real coupe the airport has secured the budget airline as a tenant adding five new destinations and 21 departures per week from the South Yorkshire airport.  The services to Amsterdam, Barcelona, Faro, Palma and Prague, will bring a mix of city break opportunities and sunshine destinations.  Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield (DSA), the former RAF Finningley Vulcan base, opened as a commercial airport in 2005 and moved a record 1,078,000 passengers in 2007.  The figures dipped below the magic million last year but for 2010 easyJet should add 300,000 to the numbers. www.robinhoodairport.com
