Robin Hood Airport want Dublin link for long haul routes
14.05.09
Robin Hood Airport is in talks over a new Dublin link – which could open up South Yorkshire to long-haul flights. The airport hopes to be able to make an announcement soon about an operator to fill the gap left by Ryanair, which axed its Doncaster to Ireland service earlier this year because of a rise in airport charges in the Republic. The flights had been one of the most popular services from the airport.
According to press reported, if the deal can be sealed it will mean flights would leave from Doncaster to Dublin, with passengers then able to take a connection with a linked airline to destinations including America or Asia.
A spokesman said: ‘We’re in discussions with an international operator about a possible Dublin link. It is an operator which has links with other international airlines, so it could mean a link up with long- haul flights. Under a codeshare arrangement, passengers could book the flights together. It would open up Doncaster to long haul travel. We are also in discussion with long haul operators direct out of Robin Hood.’
