Easyjet has announced it will cease to operate at Doncaster Sheffield Robin Hood airport only five months after launching it services at the airport. The budget airline operated 23 flights a week to destinations such as Majorca, Amsterdam, Prague and Barcelona.
The airport owned by Peel airports said the decision was based on the fact that easyJet didn’t have a base at the airport and some flight times had been unattractive to customers. They also stated that it was without a doubt a setback for the airport.
When the easyJet initially set up at Doncaster they said they were aiming to tap into the Yorkshire catchment area and promote Yorkshire as a destination, which seems a little adventurous to say the least.
However Peel airports stressed that aircrafts were 99% full on more favourable timings and it felt it would have no trouble in finding new airlines to fill the void left by easyJets’s departure.
An easyJet statement claimed no jobs would be lost and the sole aircraft operating at Doncaster would be absorbed back into Liverpool airport schedule.
