Efforts to bring Doncaster Sheffield airport (DSA) back into commercial use by spring 2026 have taken another important step forward after a significant funding commitment to the project.

Munich Airport International will support efforts to reopen DSA

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority Board has agreed to release £3 million from existing earmarked resources to "progress reinstatement activity and commercial negotiations".


This includes "time critical" work to secure the required accreditation from the CAA and to examine the necessary infrastructure. South Yorkshire mayor Oliver Coppard said he was "completely committed" to reopening DSA and creating "a world leading sustainable aviation hub".
