Yes back to random places again that are going to do business with us “St Louis, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Virginia, there’s massive opportunity in the States.” 🙄 interesting to see he’s already admitting they have a ceiling on the amount of money to be wasted “I want the airport to succeed and...

Documents have now been released prior to Mondays meeting https://doncaster.moderngov.co.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=130&MId=5160

According the the FreePress, Doncaster reform councillors met today with reform deputy leader, I assume to get advice, due to this becoming so political & public. The article states: A spokesperson for Reform UK Doncaster said: “We outlined the group’s position and the concerns being raised by...

It’s disappointing that the Doncaster Chambers still has not woken up. Free press chambers This is rather embarrassing, a clipping from the article “The hot topic towards the end of the roundtable was about the Doncaster Sheffield Airport reopening and an important vote that is coming up on May...

Looking at the majority of comments on FB following the Free Press article about these cargo deals, people have woken up and don’t believe the narrative comingFb post from the council anymore

They are already trying to show the potential lost jobs. This confusing article shows 200 jobs on site due to 2Excel, then later it states "we had 200 here" mmmmmm 2 excel . They have now also got a marjor cargo customer....but can't tell us who it is 🙄major cargo customer

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/doncaster-sheffield-airport-announces-new-leadership-jqgje/ It's blatenly obvious what they are trying to do just now, delay the meeting regarding the airport lease, and make the councillors that appose it look as bad as possible by employing as many people as...

Well, i just can’t believe this statement by Dan Fell, Doncaster chamber “ Great article by Peter Kennan. Reopening DSA is a long-term project that needs confidence and certainty. Playing seeking to undermine previous decisions not only risks this project (and, therefore, tax payers' money) but...

It’s just been on the ITV News. Some terrible reporting, basically they interview coppard who says that if reform does this then that’s the end of the airport and all these jobs and all of this money that’s gonna flow in will be gone. The reporter then says nobody knows why reform are wanting to...

I wonder how much further down the road this has kicked the next meeting. And if so then that delays funding being confirmed or does that not matter in at this stage we all think that the airport is going to Open no matter what because they are held bent on it being open?

Constant posts around jobs in the airport just now. I do think it’s to try and ensure it opens, otherwise we lose all of these jobs. What I don’t understand, is if they are not flying until end 2028, what are all these people doing 🤣 Lee pitcher post below: Momentum continues to build as we...

Yes this has made its way to the Doncaster Freepress now, the comments on FB are priceless freepress FB post I think it’s now all in the hands of Coppard & Peel. If I were Peel, I personally would not budge, why would you, they have signed it? If Coppard does not release the money, you’ve...

Wow, just had a look at the #SaveDSA fb post. I’m amazed he has not deleted the post, I bet he is currently banning a lot of people from posting. It’s the first time I’ve seen the group really questioning things. The mechanic just keeps saying it doesn’t matter what the lease says as it’s being...

Desperation from the mechanic now on his FB group, trying to state Yorkshire Post are spreading misinformation and that the leaked lease may not be real or current Interesting to see no one else would have been allowed to post about this (it’s a forum about opening the airport he would say)...

Yes this, I also cannot get my head around. Nobody in their right mind would take this on. I can only think that Having invested so much political capital in “reopening the airport”, it feels as though challenging the assumptions has become impossible, even when the numbers simply don’t stack...

Some big hurdles from this: “That is why South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) is right to hold back the release of £160m of taxpayer funding until the terms of the lease are changed” - come on Oliver coppard, you must have seen the lease before? “The fact that under the existing...

I’m not a fan of Nick Fletcher at all, but his latest post starts to demonstrate costs, even at this early stage. And like ZB757 alluded, Doncaster city centre really could do with this money to rejuvenate it / change its use / make it be an attractive place for companies to invest in. “ DSA –...

Christmas cracker update from Ros Jones on FB: “#SaveDSA – End of year update As we approach the end of 2025, it is time to reflect on the progress that has been made as we work to fully reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport. The main focus of the year has of course been to secure the long-term...

Latest twaddle by the Yorkshire post talking about the IMMINENT opening of DSA!! Is it me or do the figures keep increasing now stating £193m One of my favourite statements is “Climate Change Minister Katie White was keynote speaker at the Great Northern Conference, and backed the idea for the...

A slightly more balanced report by the media BBC The particularly interesting point “ Councillors were also warned that if the operating costs of the airport rose by another 20% within the first three years, it could close again. Conservatives councillor Nick Allen voted against it and said...
