Continuing the trend for regional success, recent growth in passenger numbers means that more and more people than ever before can now take advantage of cheap Doncaster Sheffield Airport parking. The Retford Times reported that the terminals at Doncaster Sheffield, or Robin Hood Airport as it is also known, have just experienced their busiest ever month, with 145,000 travellers departing from there in August 2016. So why have these numbers increased so dramatically, and how can these new passengers take advantage of a Doncaster Sheffield Airport parking discount?
A Bumper Month
The success of the past summer means that more than 1 million people have now flown from Doncaster Sheffield Airport this year, but how have they achieved these record figures? A large contributing factor has been the introduction of new flight routes by budget airline Flybe. New flights to Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam were introduced earlier in the year, with other destinations (Dublin and Dusseldorf) due to be added to the roster from the end of Octobers onwards. However, there have been other reasons for this increase. Chief Executive of Doncaster Sheffield Airport, Steve Gill states, “The improved accessibility of the airport, thanks to the Great Yorkshire Way link road from junction 3 of the M18, and the 11 new destinations on offer from Flybe, has significantly expanded our offer to people across the region.”
He adds, “Leisure passengers have really started to embrace Doncaster Sheffield Airport as their local airport and are showing their support by travelling from here whenever possible.”
Accessing Cheap Doncaster Airport Parking
These improved transport links along with more tempting flight availability mean that many more people are also opting to drive their own vehicles to the terminal and take advantage of deals on parking at Doncaster Sheffield Airport. This is proving a particularly good value option, and when passenger book in advance using the Doncaster Sheffield Airport parking discount available through Parking at Airports, they can save up to 72% off, and that’s not to mention the additional 12% saving on offer.
So with this recent success at Doncaster Sheffield Airport, along with the increased passenger numbers experienced by other regional UK airports, here’s hoping that the good value currently available on parking also continues, and might even prove an incentive to travel from local airports well into the future.
