Wizz Air announce new flights


announced the expansion of its recently launched base at Doncaster Sheffield airport with the addition of a second Airbus A320 aircraft and six new routes to Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Tenerife, Lisbon and Eindhoven that starting operation on 22 October 2020. Coming less than three weeks after the announcement of Wizz Air UK’s based operation at Doncaster Sheffield, the further development of Wizz Air UK’s offering at the airport reflects the enthusiastic response of customers to the new routes both to favourite holiday destinations and more CEE destinations and further demonstrates the airline’s long term commitment to bring ever more affordable travel opportunities to its British customers on Europe’s youngest aircraft fleet. Wizz Air was one of the first airlines to have

Wizz Air’s aircraft are regularly put through an industry-leading fogging process with an antiviral solution and, following WIZZ’s stringent daily cleaning schedule, all of the airline’s aircraft are further disinfected overnight with the same antiviral solution. Onboard purchases are encouraged to be made by contactless payment. Passengers are requested to follow physical distancing measures introduced by the local health authorities and are encouraged to make all purchases prior to the flight online (e.g. checked in luggage, WIZZ Priority, fast security track), to minimize any possible physical contact at the airport. By adding WIZZ Flex to a booking, passengers can rest assured that if circumstances change, or they simply wish to travel on a different date, or to a different destination, they can rebook on any WIZZ flight of their choice. Owain Jones, Managing Director of Wizz Air


UK, said: “Customers old and new have given us a very clear message – they love the choice of


‘We’re delighted to celebrate the addition of a


second Airbus A320 and six new routes’


new destinations to which they can travel with Wizz Air UK from our new base at Doncaster Sheffield. So less than three weeks after we announced the base, we’re delighted to celebrate the addition of a second Airbus A320 and six new routes, bringing more of everything that our customers love about WIZZ – more local jobs, more much-needed connections for the region and more ultra- low fares to favourite holiday destinations and European cities.” Chris Harcombe, Director


of Aviation Development at Doncaster Sheffield Airport, said: “We are delighted that Wizz Air has chosen to base a


second aircraft permanently at Doncaster Sheffield Airport so soon after its recent announcement to open a full-based operation with us


for Wizz Air UK. The swift addition of a second aircraft from Europe’s greenest airline shows the confidence of Wizz Air that we can deliver a shared intention to provide affordable travel through ultra-low fares to people in the North east of the Pennines.”


Growth Hub helps security firm to stand out


Oliver Law Security (OLS) Ltd are now “standing out from the crowd” after undertaking a series of programmes and workshops from the Growth Hub. OLS, based in Doncaster, first contacted the


Growth Hub to attend business growth workshops before formally signing up to our Scale Up programme. The SCR Scale-Up initiative, is aimed at


accelerating the growth of high-potential businesses through peer focused business learning, group working and industry insight. It is focused on supporting established businesses to grow where they are ambitious to achieve high levels of growth and is an initiative delivered in collaboration with the University of Sheffield,

Sheffield Hallam University and the SCR Growth Hub. After completing Scale-Up, OLS successfully


applied for four of their engineers to go through the Skills Bank programme. OLS Ltd, who provide high-quality


professional security services to businesses, secured BTEC level 3 certificates for their engineers in IT and networking for security, and access control installing. Claire Law, Commercial Director of OLS, said:


“Qualifications in security are few and far between and so by achieving a level of training, we are showing our customers that we have a very high level of expertise. “Training and qualifications in security systems


and controls are costly, so to have the funding support, on top of the bespoke support around finding and accessing the training itself, from Skills Bank was brilliant. “The engineers who completed the programme


are rightly proud that they’ve come through the training and now possess the skills and qualifications to progress within the company. “Training and upskilling is a key part of our five-


year growth plan. The support from Skills Bank meant we surpassed our annual targets comfortably. The level of support we got from the Growth Hub, and in particular Anne Wilson, our Skills Advisor, was fantastic. We are still in contact with Anne and we are really interested in looking at more opportunities for training and events.”
