if the comments on the recent Doncaster Free Press Facebook post FB post are anything to go by of local opinion, the tide has certainly turned on opinion, with many now realising this is a white elephant.

Also a piece today by Dan Fell, trying to get support, after having some negative feedback at a public meeting: “Last night, I once more had the privilege of chairing a public meeting about DSA with Oliver Coppard. The event demonstrated the strong opinions that are held within our community...

Latest YP story has some notable comments by Ross Jones ““As I have said previously, this is the people’s airport and in the medium to long-term it can be the jewel in the crown of the Doncaster and South Yorkshire economy.” Mmm, it’s not the jewel on the crown now until the future . The...

CDC scrutiny Meeting This is an interesting watch. The conclusion of the speakers, is that they’ve learnt from other airports such as Manchester and Luton that have been successful that originally were started by the councils. Once the council de-risk the project, then the private sector...

Interesting comment by an ex commercial & ops guy today, replying to a supporter, regarding one of the most recent YP articles “Scott Brazil they can IF they want to fly from an airport. Before joining you in the pointy end I spent around 20odd years in commercial and ops for a couple of...

This is astonishing, so basically the airport that Peel was making a loss with apparently due to being incompetent, will now be run by the council, who will run it better by making a loss for 9 years, for a cost of £81m. And that’s if all goes well!! To me this is already acceptance of...

Coppards latest statement on FB states he is doing what the people have asked him to do “ I just wanted to offer some thoughts about DSA to round off the week, and to respond to some of the criticism that has come from other politicians and some commentators, on and offline. The one criticism...

Well, the travel agents said the airport will be profitable this time, so who are we to argue 😬 and on a report I heard yesterday, said there will be hundreds of thousands of jobs created. Why didn’t we do this before….oh hang on…

Well the mayor has confirmed that the Cost Benefit Ratio of £9 for every £1 spent were wide of the mark “it isn’t that big but it still more than £1”. Well if it’s more than £1, it’s ok then 😆 . Taken from this article Insidermedia

Yes, after listening to his speech and tv interview I thought he had seen some sense, and realised passengers are not viable as a model, so they will go down GA route of some sort etc, with some sort of business plan. Now listening to this, he alludes to it going ahead but simply being phased 🤷‍♂️

Yes I agree. Coppard could say payout £40m for the sustainable aviation thingy, with flights potentially later down the line. the £40m refurbs a couple of hangers for Ross Jones to prance around and say look at what I have achieved. A few years Later CDC ask for £120m to start commercial...

Hoping this link will work for itv news ITV news I’m really suprised this interview, he does seem to state he his not wanting to make the choice on politics. I’m wondering now if maybe they will just push for a GA site?

Well he does seem to know his stuff, his latest statement really shows his deep knowledge of how it all works “Does it matter we missed the brochures? When DSA closed all flights were moved to LBA overnight. Surely this could happen when DSA opens and online listings altered to suit”. 🙄🤣

Those who are interested in the discussion can continue the debate and continue to enjoy posting, those who are not interested, are not being forced to read it. Simples, everyone’s happy 😃

Yes good he still only spins positive things on, very much all about feeding his ego “I have represented….” , “I have attended….” I do like his vague bit of news “CDC and Munich are in talks with a number of different companies who are interested in opportunities that will be available when...

I agree, it does feel now there is the potential for this project perhaps to unfold into: Phase a) open airport for freight & other industries (paint shop etc.., whatever the plan secret master plan is), inform the public that once we get airlines interested then phase b) open terminal will...
