South Yorkshire Mayor Oliver Coppard has expressed his disappointment that Peel Group hasn’t “been able to unlock the evident potential of an airport with a customer base of millions”.
He has also called out an apparent lack of willingness to match the ambition held by his office, after it revealed that Doncaster Sheffield Airport may no longer be deemed commercially viable.
A strategic review has been launched by the owner, as it seeks to call time on losses, with 800 jobs understood to be at stake.
