Flights at Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) will start "winding down" as bosses confirmed there is no future for the business. Owners Peel Group announced the airport was "not viable due to its lack of adequate forward revenues and high operating costs" and that its services will start "winding down" next month.
It comes as bosses said on Monday (26 September) that a strategic review had concluded that "a break-even business plan cannot be identified for the foreseeable future". The company has not set a date for closure, but said flights would start winding down from 31 October.
A consultation process will now begin with airport staff, it said. Chairman of Peel Airports Group Robert Hough said: "We recognise that this will come as a great disappointment to many. The intractable problem remains the fundamental and insufficient lack of current or prospective revenue streams, together with the airport’s high operating costs.
