Peel group has agreed to talks with possible buyers but will move ahead with closure plans, says MP.
Politicians had urged the owners of Doncaster Sheffield Airport to consider offers for the purchase of the site
Don Valley MP Nick Fletcher said the company had agreed to "sit down with potential investors" but will continue with its plan to shut the airport. Ms Jones said council staff had been working "tirelessly" to find potential investors and had put the offers to Peel."They see a future for DSA as an airport and want to negotiate with Peel but need more time to complete complex legal and financial requirements, as is normal in any deal and particularly so with one of this size and scale."
