The owners of Doncaster Sheffield Airport have given another statement on its future - saying it 'cannot continue in its current form'
TUI is the only named operator now flying out of the airport and 800 direct jobs are at risk with more in the supply chain.
In a statement on social media, Fletcher also said Mayor Coppard could follow Tees Valley’s lead to buy the airport from Peel as the region’s mayor Ben Houchan did in 2019 following similar closure threats from the company.Recent communications between South Yorkshire mayor Oliver Coppard, Doncaster Council and Peel heard the owners ‘made a commitment’ that they will ‘not simply abandon the site’.
“I am afraid the letter from John Whittaker was not positive. He has agreed that the consultation period may be extended if needed but he went on to say that the airport is not financially viable and therefore should not continue in its current form.
