Pressure mounted on the owners from politicians and the public
The saga surrounding a possible closure of Doncaster Sheffield Airport continues to rumble on, as owners agree to an extension for talks over the site’s future despite “no tangible proposals” being offered as yet.
The owners argue that the airport has “never achieved the critical mass required to become profitable”, meaning “aviation activity may no longer be the use” of the site. Peel Group has issued an updated statement to confirm the extension of their strategic review, “despite the lack of any tangible proposals from public or private sector partners”.
“To continue the uncertainty by prolonging the strategic review until the end of 2022 as requested without any tangible proposals to consider would be unsustainable for colleagues employed at the airport and untenable for our business partners, airlines and passengers.
