“Doncaster Sheffield Airport delivered a fantastic airport experience for our customers, and we are excited about actively engaging with stakeholders about a potential re-opening.”
Last month, the City of Doncaster Council agreed a 125-year lease with the airport’s owners, Peel Group, which had earlier refused to sell the facility. The deal came 16 months after the airport was closed when Wizz Air pulled out.
The Doncaster Free Press has also reported South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority had granted access to £138 million in funds to reopen the airport.
