Doncaster Sheffield Airport which sadly closed last year might reopen as the council has started working on a new £3million plan. The much-loved airport was shut down last year after the Peel Group, who owns it, said it was no longer "commercially viable".

Now, according to reports, Doncaster Council is hoping to buy the airport back from the Peel Airports Group and reopen it.

Purchasing the airport, called Project South Yorkshire Airport City, could cost as much as £3.1million, with Peel recently offering to lease the airport to the city.

A statement from Doncaster Council said: "Peel has recently offered a lease of the airport to the City of Doncaster Council.

"Discussions are taking place to progress this option and to explore whether a lease at a longer term and on a different commercial basis than that initially offered by Peel could provide a basis upon which to achieve the Council’s objectives. Express.
