Robin Hood Airport passengers up 5.7%
07.02.08
The number of passengers flying via Robin Hood Airport increased by 5.7% in January, as 62,347 people travelled through the hub last month. The growth is fairly modest for such a new airport.
Since it opened in April 2005 the airport has handled 2.7 million passengers. It now offers flights to 40 world-wide destinations and is the only base in the region to fly to the Polish cities of Katowice, Gdansk, Poznan, Wroclaw and Warsaw. Alicante in Spain was the top destination but flights to centres in Poland are increasingly popular with travellers using Robin Hood, the airport said in a statement.
Owner Peel Airport's Group Airport Director, Hugh Lang, said: 'We're happy to report the growth in passenger throughput year on year, which demonstrates the continued impact Robin Hood Airport has on the airport region. We have just seen the launch of new flights to Poznan and Wroclaw in Poland, and look ahead to new routes starting in the Summer, including Heraklion in Crete and Warsaw, Poland's capital.'
