Weekender: Airport launches direct route to Budapest

Doncaster Sheffield Airport has announced a new Wizz air flight to Budapest.

The new service, departing three times a week, will take off from October 29 and comes hot on the heels of a route to Debrecen announced just weeks ago.

The route to Budapest will bring a total of five flights per week and almost 100,000 seats to Hungary.

Chris Harcombe, aviation development director, Doncaster Sheffield Airport, said: “Wizz air is an important strategic partner of DSA. Since opening operations in 2006 we have worked together in partnership to develop a growing range of routes with over three million passengers carried.  As one of Europe’s leading low cost Airlines renowned for low fares and exceptional service we share many of the same values. Today we are delighted to offer even greater choice to such an impressive destination, such is Budapest.”

Owain Jones, chief corporate officer at Wizz Air, said: “WIZZ is the European airline that is always creating more and more exciting travel connections for our customers across Europe and beyond. We are delighted to be the first airline to connect Doncaster Sheffield with Budapest, giving our UK customers in the north of England the opportunity to experience the stunning architecture, world famous wines and superb gastronomy on offer in one of Europe’s most beautiful and vibrant capital cities.”
