TUI adds flights to Sharm el Sheikh from Doncaster Sheffield
TUI has added flights to Sharm el Sheikh from Doncaster Sheffield Airport along with new charters to Cape Verde, Fuerteventura, Hurghada, and Cancun.
Flights to Sharm El Sheikh will operate every Sunday May 3, increasing to two flights a week during the winter, starting on November 1. TUI’s programme features just four hotels in Sharm at the moment, but the operator said more will be added.
New year-round flights to Fuerteventura from Doncaster Sheffield will launch on May 6 and there will also be weekly flights to Cape Verde and to the Red Sea resort of Hurghada throughout next winter.
Flights from Doncaster to Cancun will launch on March 31 for the summer season.
TUI UK&I’s director of aviation planning Karen Switzer said: "Earlier this month TUI announced its winter 2020 and summer 2021 holiday programme which has since expanded with more destinations and added flights.
"We are delighted that the additional flights provide holidaymakers departing from our regional airports with even more choice when deciding where to go away.
"With additional flying capacity and more than 1,000 hotels already on sale for summer 2021 it gives those planning ahead the opportunity to choose the most suitable airport, destination and hotel.
"The customer is at the heart of everything we do and this additional growth to some of our customer’s favourite holiday hotspots from Doncaster Sheffield demonstrates our continued commitment for people to discover their smile with us."
Robert Hough, chairman Peel Airports, said: "TUI’s latest announcement will bring our total growth to over a quarter of a million additional passenger seats now on sale and the expanded winter 2020 programme is a great indication of the confidence that TUI has in our established reputation for providing an easy, friendly and relaxed service offering more choice for our customers."
