Doncaster Sheffield Airport is set to welcome passengers again, after a £160m (US$216m) funding package was approved by South Yorkshire’s mayor, Oliver Coppard, and council leaders.
All five board members of the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) voted unanimously in favor of the funding, paving the way for the airport’s reopening.
According to SYMCA, significant passenger operations are not likely to commence until summer 2028, although there is potential for limited passenger activity and cargo from winter 2027.
