Flights to Egypt to be reintroduced from Yorkshire airport
Holiday company TUI has said trips to the resort town of Sharm El Sheikh will be back on sale on Thursday 7 November, with flights from Doncaster Sheffield Airport starting in May 2020.
TUI said the Red Sea destination has always been a firm favourite. Resorts at this location include TUI Magic Life Sharm El Sheikh and Reef Oasis Blue Bay, with more hotel announcements in the pipeline.
Mark Hall, director of product and destination experience TUI UK & Ireland, said: “At TUI we’re committed to offering our customers an outstanding choice of holidays across the globe. Sharm el Sheikh was always a hugely popular destination and I am delighted to confirm that we are reintroducing the Egypt favourite to our summer 2020 programme.
“In response to customer demand, our first flights from Doncaster Sheffield will operate from May 2020 and our resorts are all looking forward to welcoming back our customers with a smile.”
Chris Harcombe, aviation development director at the airport, said: “We are delighted the TUI is reintroducing flights to Sharm El Sheikh from Doncaster Sheffield Airport and it’s great news for our customers that we can now offer flights to this popular holiday destination.
“It’s another win for DSA coming hot on the heels of TUI announcing two new routes, Fuerteventura and Heraklion for next summer and fifteen extra weekly departures on existing routes by adding a fourth aircraft to their successful base, here in Yorkshire.
“We are very proud of our almost 15-year partnership with TUI, which has carried over seven million passengers through DSA since 2005.
“We have a shared passion to provide an easy, friendly and relaxed service for our customers, offering flexibility and choice including long-haul destinations to Sandford, Florida and Cancun, Mexico.”
