So if an inquiry does hold people to account, then what? It still doesn't get the airport re-opened.

I very much doubt Peel will be concerned about some negative PR.

Peel bought the airport because it was losing over £400k a year, with a £2 million overdraft and with no more money to fund...

All this talk about who could, or could not, operate from SZD is immaterial unless the airport is sold by the current owner.
Why would Peel sell? The FSB, or anyone else, has not given any...

johnnychips, true. I did mean it more in the sense of 2 flights a day (any destination). It would probably be outside of Britain.

Phileas, I will agree on your last point.

I would be shocked if SZD would attract, or rely on, island destinations (Highlands, Channel or Scilly) so I don't think it affects the discussion about SZD, even though the Scillies had slipped my...

One last thing... That pic you posted would be a regular view at SZD if the FSB truly believe that all aircraft that fly into LCY would get into Sheffield.

Phileas, as a reminder the discussion is about the viability of DSA (because SZD was deemed unviable, so people don't think we have hijacked a thread!).

And you think that DSA doesn't accept anything smaller than a 737?

There are PA28s and Cessna 150s at DSA, so a re-opened SZD would compete with DSA on the GA front.
