Written off in 2022 as a hopeless cause and a complete waste of space. No, not me: Doncaster Sheffield Airport, where flying ended 16 months ago. Yet the South Yorkshire gateway may be resurrected. Doncaster Council has signed a 125-year lease to revive it independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…
@SimonCalder TUI @TUIUK PLEASE RETURN TO DONCASTER it was so good for us from there
@SimonCalder @save_dsa Needs a good airport operator and some serious passenger and cargo airlines. It’ll be a winner given its location. Motorways and rail link planning.
@SimonCalder A modern airport, less than 1h from Leeds, Hull, Nottingham, Derby, Bradford and Sheffield: more than a quarter of England’s biggest 20 cities outside London. Great location. Untapped potential.
@SimonCalder its in a worse place than birmingham location to other airports, leeds bradford/ manchester/ newcastle all nearish
@SimonCalder Surely Sheffield Doncaster would be a better name.
@SimonCalder Wish I could go back 45 years to when I served there. RAF Finningley brings back so many memories
@SimonCalder Just watched your interview on Calendar Mr Calder and your remarks of DONCASTER airport hasn't been missed, it certainly has been missed. People used DSA from nearby counties not just Yorkshire. The biggest county definitely needs this airport.#savedDSA
@SimonCalder Apparently one if the UKs longest runways is there..
@SimonCalder Wonderful news for the good people of Yorkshire. Should never have closed.
