Doncaster Sheffield Airport: Here's when the major airlines will depart site - with police's future still uncertain
earlier this year. The latter axed a number of flights following a ‘breakdown in the commercial agreement’ with operators Peel.Their final outbound flights from Doncaster leave on the afternoon of Octoober 28 and the final landing is on the evening of November 4.
TUI bosses have vocally opposed Doncaster’s closure, saying the base was popular with customers. They have now increased capacity at other regional airports including Leeds Bradford, Manchester and East Midlands.The low-cost airline specialises in eastern European city destinations and had already reduced its services earlier this year and offered pilots and crew the chance to transfer to other bases.
The last of these flights will be on October 30, after which they will all transfer to Leeds Bradford Airport.NPAS relocated to Doncaster Sheffield in 2016, having previously flown from the Carr Gate police operations and training centre in Wakefield. The custom-built terminal for the four fixed-wing Vulcanair planes opened in 2020, and helicopters are also based at DSA. The service’s emergency response coverage extends across the whole country.
NPAS have not publicly confirmed their departure date or finalised their aircraft’s new base. There will be some activity at DSA beyond November 4, when commercial aviation ends, raising hopes that NPAS may be able to stay on the site longer in order to perform their emergency role.One plane that won’t be moving any time soon is the Vulcan – one of the last survivors of the iconic Cold War-era RAF fleet.
The flight school were long-term Peel tenants and trained many pilots who ended up working for large commercial airlines. However, they do have a sister base at Sandtoft Airfield in Lincolnshire, and will move all operations there – though they have expressed disappointment at the number of their students who will no longer be able to realise their dream of flying out of Doncaster Sheffield.
