“We’re happy to report the growth in passenger throughput year on year, which demonstrates the continued impact Robin Hood Airport has on the airport region,” comments Peel Airport’s Group airport director, Hugh Lang.
“We’ve just seen the launch of new flights to Poznan and Wroclaw in Poland, and look ahead to new routes starting in the Summer, including Heraklion in Crete and Warsaw, Poland’s capital,” adds Lang. Flights to Poland start from just £19.99 one way including taxes and charges.
