WET AND WINDY SUMMER SEES ROBIN HOOD AIRPORT FORECAST BUSY BANK HOLIDAY TRAFFIC ONCE AGAIN

August Bank Holiday weekend is once again expected to be the busiest period of the year for Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield with more than 16,000 passengers expected to be travelling through the airport.

With recent lengthy spells of rain dampening more than just spirits, the attraction of some much needed summer sunshine is likely to see a late surge of holiday makers taking the opportunity for some end of season hotter weather, following yet another disappointing British Summer.

With more opportunities than ever before to set off in search of sun and sea in and around the Mediterranean, passenger levels this weekend are set to reach levels not seen since before the economic downturn.

Robin Tudor, Head of PR for Peel Airports, commented: “Once again the poor British Summer is tempting the region’s passengers to spend time away from the UK. The great choice of value for money flights and somewhat warmer places to visit direct from here looks like proving irresistible for many.”

The figures expected this weekend are up by at least 3,000 passengers compared to this time last year.

This news comes on the back of the latest CAA figures which show that passenger numbers at Robin Hood Airport have continued to soar for the third consecutive month this year.

In July, as many as 115,590 travellers used Doncaster Sheffield Airport, a rise of 22% compared to the July 2009 figures. The most popular routes for holiday makers and business travellers alike in July were Palma (Majorca), Dalaman (Turkey), Alicante (Spain), Faro (Portugal) and Amsterdam (Holland).
