Doncaster Sheffield-2

[STN Ramp Rat]

FR24 data suggests that it happened during the turn at the end of the runway at low speed.

Have they dragged the 747 off the grass? Amazed Timmy hasn't been on saying this is the end.

Probably ran out in front of it to get the airport in the news

Looks like this mornings 747F has gone to East Midlands.

Great news for DSA.

Great news for DSA.

Without knowing the market there, I assume that would cause some degree of competition for catchment with Jet2 over at LBA?

Yes - presumably Wizz UK? interesting move...

I think this has been on the cards for a while, and the reason behind the terminal enhancements and extension will be going ahead soon.

Also states there is an intention to bring in further aircraft as part of the agreement within a matter of months.

Interesting developments. Will certainly give Jet2 a run for their money being situated halfway between their bases of Leeds and East Mids and now easier to get to via the motorways, at much cheaper prices.

[SWBKCB]

Not just LBA and EMA, Newcastle and Teesside will welcome this news like a hole in the head.

[TimmyW]

Interested to see future developments as it sounds like this is just the beginning.

They started with an expanded Europe sun spots at Luton and I would expect some Canaries stuff for next year at Doncaster as well as an increased offering from their existing base at Liverpool.

I wonder how much DSA is paying Wizz UK. The last time they gave sweeteners to an airline it didn't end well (Flybe).

[TimmyW]

Who says they are?

They have a 15-year relationship, and as stated previously, this has been on the cards for a while now.

Think you are comparing chalk with cheese - Wizz are in a far better financial position and will know the DSA market well having been there many years. This move will have a lot of people looking over their shoulders.

OMG, Timmy is now some sort of expert! One wonders why he didn’t mention the negotiations in this post from January.

A quick reminder to his previous trolling. Only one person looking pretty stupid at the moment.
