Doncaster Sheffield Airport prepares to close

It was voted as the UK’s Number One airport, but by the end of this week Doncaster Sheffield Airport could be closed for good, despite a campaign to keep it open.

The owners, Peel, rejected an offer of public money which would have allowed it to operate into next year – saying the airport simply wasn’t financially viable.

Airport operations have begun winding down.

Other bids have been described as not credible – but a last minute deal could still save it.
