Doncaster Mayor Ros Jones is expected to tell councillors this week that a well known international operator has been chosen to run Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
There’s been huge public support to reopen the airport, which closed in 2022, after owners Peel Group said it was no longer financially viable. Mayor Jones is expected to make the announcement of the outcome of a procurement exercise at Thursday’s full council after the list of prospective investors was whittled down from 35 to two.
Doncaster Chamber said: “By protecting the airspace in this way, it will be much easier for the prospective new operator of the revamped site to get it back up-and-running without unwarranted delay. 'On the other hand, if the airspace were to lack the proper designation, then it would inevitably cause problems further on down the line and needlessly defer any economic benefit that would otherwise arise from DSA reopening its doors.
