Wizz Air is offering a new twice-weekly service from Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) to Timisoara, Romania, available for travel from September 2, 2019.
This addition comes after Wizz Air announced new routes to Krakow, Poland, and Budapest, Hungary. The new service to Timisoara will deliver an additional 38,000 seats from the airport. With the additions, the airport will add an extra 300,000 new seats for the year ahead that should see passenger numbers grow to 1.5 million per annum.
Located on the northern bank of the Bega River with its Secessionist architecture, Timisoara is the third largest city in Romania and considered the cultural, economic and social centre of western Romania. Often referred to as the ‘Little Vienna,’ Timisoara has a rich arts scene, including year-round theatrical and musical performances and a lively nightlife.
Chris Harcombe, Aviation Development Director at DSA, said: ‘This is great news for Doncaster Sheffield Airport, and we’re delighted by the confidence airlines have shown in the easy, friendly, relaxed experience that we offer our customers across our growing catchment area of passengers covering the wider Yorkshire and North Nottinghamshire regions. This is the fourth new route announcement from Wizz Air over the last 12-months, offering almost 40 flights per week to 13 destinations across Europe from DSA by September.
‘We’re proud to be Wizz Air’s largest operation in the UK outside of London and delighted to grow our choice of low-cost European destinations. Our first TUI long-haul flights to Sanford, Florida take off in May and tickets are already on sale for flights to Cancun, Mexico setting off in Spring 2020, taking our total destinations to 55, with new routes being added regularly’.
Tamara Vallois, Head of Communications at Wizz Air, said: ‘We are happy to expand our network in the United Kingdom with another exciting Eastern-European destination. Our newest route now connects Yorkshire with Timisoara, Romania, the historical Transylvanian city in the Western corner of the country. It is a perfect destination for a weekend break or even a longer trip, offering a relaxing atmosphere. We are confident that our British customers will enjoy visiting this splendid city. Our friendly crew looks forward to welcoming you on board a WIZZ flight!’
