They say the owners of Doncaster Sheffield Airport 'should allow other buyers to be found'
Two Nottinghamshire MPs say the owners of Doncaster Sheffield Airport are choosing to "damage the economy" by closing the hub. The Peel Group announced earlier in the week that flights would start "winding down" at DSA from October 31 due to a "lack of adequate forward revenues and high operating costs."
The letter has been signed by Bassetlaw MP Brendan Clarke-Smith and Sherwood MP Mark Spencer. It says: "With assistance and support from the Government and financial support from the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority ... you were placed in a position where you did not need to close the airport."We were therefore extremely surprised and disappointed to learn that your company has declined this offer and fail to understand why.
"That makes no sense and does not show any degree of corporate responsibility. If you do not wish to run this regional international airport then you should allow other buyers to be found who do."
