New routes for Doncaster airport
AIRPORT bosses at Robin Hood have unveiled a £70,000 revamp to their check-in desks along with new routes for 2010.
Thomson and First Choice have unveiled a spruced-up check-in facility within the terminal building at Robin Hood Airport, along with a new dedicated Customer Service Desk, four branded check-in desks, a First Choice children's play area, and a themed boarding gate.
More than £70,000 has been invested in the improvements.
The unveiling of the new look areas has coincided with news that the firms' owner, travel company TUI, will be adding three more destinations to be served from the airport next summer.
Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Antalya in Turkey, and Monastir in Tunisia will all be available direct from the airport for the first time next year, with summer 2010 holidays now on sale.
Neil Pakey, deputy chief executive for airport owners Peel Airports, said: "We've been working closely with the tour operator on this initiative for some time, wanting to create the Thomson/First Choice experience from the moment passengers arrive to the time they board their aircraft.
"The news they will be operating additional routes next summer further demonstrates their commitment to the airport and to the region, giving passengers even more opportunities to fly from their local airport."
Neil Morris, planning director for TUI, added: "It's been great to work side by side with the airport to create the best experience for our customers.
"We have seen a high demand from customers wishing to fly out of Doncaster Sheffield Airport so we are delighted to be able to increase our destination offering and give these customers a greater choice."
