Wizz Air is DSA’s largest airline, having operated from the airport for over a decade, with flights starting in 2006.
Wizz Air serves a number of popular European cities and holiday destinations with low cost fares. It is anticipated that more of these will soon be added to the list of available flights from DSA, as the Government and Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) relax current legislation and restrictions on international travel.

“Wizz is a valued partner of Doncaster Sheffield Airport and we are proud to be one of their UK bases. We celebrated 4 million passengers last year and look forward to welcoming many more now that operations have restarted.”
