Mothballed airport may reopen

Hi

Doncaster Sheffield Airport has moved one step closer to reopening following positive talks.

TUI and Ryanair have been in conversation with the group running the relaunch project, giving hope that the now mothballed airport could start jetting holidaymakers off once again.

Doncaster East and Isle of Axholme Labour MP Lee Pitcher announced the DSA Action Group "sat down with TUI's UK & Ireland commercial director" and "chaired a positive DSA Action Group meeting with Ryanair, represented by their head of public affairs."

In January, Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary refused to rule out returning his company's flights to the North East airport, but admitted being based at the site was "a hard sell."
