The petition was submitted by Conservative MP for Don Valley Nick Fletcher, who, on behalf of the petitioners, requested the House of Commons urged the government to "take all necessary to steps" to ensure the future of the airport.
"I submit this petition on behalf of the good people of Don Valley, and the 56,000 people who have supported an online petition to save Doncaster Sheffield airport from closure," he said.
"It is an award winner that is central to Doncaster’s future. It has superb facilities, its location could not be better, and it is one of the most environmentally friendly airports at which to land an aircraft; it has a unique approach.
