Craig Davie, from the hotel, said: "We've had TUI crews stay here for the last 20 years, since they opened the airport we've been the designated hotel for their operations.He continued: "You can hear an aeroplane going over the hotel as we speak, this would be the biggest downfall in Doncaster's history if anything was to happen to the airport.
The travel agent, who set up her business in Doncaster in 1982, said concerned customers have already been in touch about their future bookings. "No blame can be put to Covid as the airport had already lost other airlines prior to 2020, it begs to question why aren't EasyJet and Ryanair flying out of Doncaster?"The airport was acquired by the Peel Group in 1999 and opened as an international commercial airport in 2005
