Links Air (Humberside) is to base a Jetstream 31 out of Doncaster/Sheffield this summer with plans to launch flights to Belfast City and the Isle of Man (another base which it serves on behalf of Citywing (Isle of Man)). The routes will cater primarily to the business sector.

LinksAir Commercial Manager, Roger Hage, commented “We are delighted at LinksAir to be making Robin Hood Doncaster-Sheffield Airport our fourth aircraft and crew base, supporting up to ten new jobs at the airport and in launching services to Belfast and the Isle of Man that we are confident will be well supported and have the ability to grow. Belfast is a vibrant city and of growing importance in both commercial and leisure terms to the UK’s fifth biggest City region in Sheffield, while the Isle of Man has such a great appeal as both a short-stay leisure destination and for its unique place in motorsport culture.”

Belfast flights, which start on April 7, will run twice-daily on weekdays with a single Sunday return flight while the new Isle of Man service will commence on April 14, operating on a Monday, Friday and Sunday, allowing for short leisure breaks and business trips.

Links Air's other bases include Cardiff and Humberside.
