Flights from Doncaster Sheffield Airport to Barcelona Girona and Alicante will be reinstated to its summer 2010 schedule.

The Ryanair services were postponed over the winter but will return due to popular demand, bringing the number of destinations served from the airport over summer to 30.

Nick Smillie, Peel Airports aviation sales director, commented: "Barcelona Girona and Alicante are well used flights and this is great news for the airport and our loyal passengers, who can now continue to reach these destinations from Doncaster."

Mr Smillie added that the airport is looking to "develop relationships" with other airlines in order to add extra flights and new routes to its roster this summer.

The news comes after Thomson and First Choice added services from Doncaster Sheffield to Antalya, Monastir and Lanzarote to their 2010 schedule.

According to its website, the airport has handled over five million passengers since opening its doors to the public five years ago.

It is located seven miles from Doncaster and 25 miles from Sheffield.
