Only a handful of airlines now fly with DSA following a dispute with the executives of Wizz Air that led to the company pulling out and canceling all their flights in June this year.

In today’s statement, Robert Hough, Chairman of Peel Airports Group, which includes Doncaster Sheffield Airport, said: “The actions by Wizz to sacrifice its base at Doncaster to shore up its business opportunities at other bases in the South of England are a significant blow for the Airport.

"Now is the right time to review how DSA can best create future growth opportunities for Doncaster and for South Yorkshire. The Peel Group remains committed to delivering economic growth, job opportunities and prosperity for Doncaster and the wider region.”
