Progress to reopening DSA! This decision unlocks our ability to progress work with the CAA to establish the most appropriate airspace for airlines & passengers, as we work to reopen our airport in Spring 2026. This is another step towards reopening our airport. @save_dsa

An article in the @yorkshirepost Today @transportgovuk have decided not to call in the decision on our airspace The @UK_CAA can now move forward and make a decision that allows passenger flights back to our Airport See pic for details The caa is likely to draw up a new airspace for DSA ready for spring next year. We can try to influence them by signing and sharing our petition chng.it/z6HMv2sy5Q #saveDSA #saveDSAairspace #syorksairportcity yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/pol…

Here's an article from Insider Media Government approved £30 million pound boost to reopening #saveDSA The latest can be found here. A £30m investment plan aimed at supporting the reopening of Doncaster Sheffield Airport has been given government backing. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said on Wednesday that she supported the move by South Yorkshire Mayor Oliver Coppard, who has said that reopening the airport will support 5,000 jobs, boost the economy by £5bn and provide wider benefits of £2bn by 2050. The airport was opened on the site of a former RAF base south of Doncaster in 2005, but closed in 2022. Since then, South Yorkshire political leaders and business groups have campaigned to reopen the facility as a keystone of wider development plans for the region. In January, Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the Government would back the reopening of the airport as South Yorkshire Airport City. Doncaster Council has established a wholly-owned subsidiary called Fly Doncaster and secured Munich Airport International as its strategic partner to support the re-establishment of operations over a number of years. The Ministry for Housing and Local Government said on Wednesday that the investment announcement will enable the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) to use its devolved funding to invest in critical infrastructure. Angela Rayner said: "If we are to really grow our economy and put money into the pockets of working people, regional growth needs to be hardwired into the decisions that we make. #saveDSA #saveDSAairspace #syorksairportcity insidermedia.com/news/yorksh…

Wow !!! What a month so far !!! The Chancellor announced full support for our airport. We've had an adjournment debate by Lee Pitcher in parliament on the economic contribution and benefits that a reopened DSA will bring. The Aviation Minister Mike Kane offered full support. In prime ministers' questions, Sally Jameson asked the PM for support to get our airport reopened. Kier Starmer offered full support John Healey came to Doncaster for a Doncaster Chamber event. The airport was a topic of conversation, with support for the reopening. This week, we've had Munich Airport MD and directors at DSA, along with the consultants FP Airports and the City of Doncaster Council. With a presentation !!! I can't go into the details, unfortunately Mohammad Tayer The Airport Guy Joined us along with some Doncaster and South yorkshire consultants and business people Our community and local jobs were a good topic of discussion. So it's thumbs up from me 👍👍. The airspace was mentioned a few times. I do know that in parliament last week, the DSA Action Group (mps from our region set up to champion our cause in government) met with the Department for Transport. With some mention of the airspace. Now I'm still banging the drum about the petition to #saveDSAairspace. Over the last 2 and a half years, we have had over 179,000 people sign petitions join the group, participate, or follow our social media accounts, This is unprecedented. Most campaigns for airports are to restrict flights or operations. The Work We have All done on here and other accounts liking, sharing, commenting, etc. has made a big difference to what's happening with DSA. I'm told we do have an opportunity to still make a difference. Please sign and share the petition to reinstate our Airspace when needed. The secretary of state for transport Heidi Alexander MP has an opportunity to call in the decision on the airspace and allow full reinstatement when all the relevant qualifications and certifications are in place So please sign and share the petitions lnkd.in/eDdNjFe2 @MyDoncaster @MayorRos @DNChamber @BusinessinDN @DoncasterDamian @MUC_Airport @FPAirports @sheffchamber @brchamberuk #saveDSA #saveDSAairspace #syorksairportcity

That's 2 mass transit systems sorted with buses and Trams lets get an international mass transit system back open A return of 9 to 1 Spend £1 return £9 unheard of numbers Employment a possible 14,000 jobs Un heard of numbers The #syorksairportcity project with 1200 acres of development land for the taking and possible investment into our region along with the income that will bring @MyDoncaster has done all the hard work over the last 2.5 years along with employing business aviation and legal consultants to ensure that public money is well invested, along with your own due dilligence you've already employed Bradshaws last year to do due dilligence. CDC have announced @MUC_Airport international to support fly doncaster. @FPAirports are there to get our airport compliant and certified We have a small window of opportunity to get #saveDSA reopened Let's stop sitting on the fence we have mass regional transport let's now get mass international transport in place @DNChamber @DoncasterDamian @MyDoncaster @sheffchamber @brchamberuk @BarnsleyCouncil @BusinessinDN @SouthYorksMCA @MayorRos @SouthYorksMayor

Doncaster's @LeePitcherMP has called on the Government to commit to getting the reopening of Doncaster Sheffield Airport 'over the line'. Last night he told the commons that losing DSA was a bitter blow. The Aviation Minister said they will work with the Council & Mayor
