Doncaster Sheffield Airport: Wizz Air apologises after 3,000 passengers diverted from Luton to other airports

Doncaster Sheffield Airport was among those who received an unexpected influx of passengers, as were Liverpool, and Beauvais in France.

A spokesman for the airline said: “Wizz Air sincerely apologises for all those passengers affected by the disruption at London Luton this weekend.

"This was caused by a weather-related power outage which unfortunately affected the landing systems at the airport. As a result a number of departing and arriving flights were diverted to other airports from where we are arranging transportation to original destinations.
