As part of the partnership, Flybe, which is due to launch eight new routes from later this month, has been named as Welcome to Yorkshire’s official airline partner for the year.
Sir Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “We share the belief that Yorkshire is a great place to visit and do business and I hope that we will see even more people making use of Doncaster Sheffield Airport’s excellent facilities and travelling on some of Flybe’s fantastic new routes.”
