Some very poor Geography on here. West Yorkshire has a population of 2.5 million South Yorkshire 1.4 million.
Leeds is central in West Yorkshire, DSA is on the Eastern fringes of South Yorkshire with little population to the east.
People to the West of Leeds have Manchester as an alternative. They are not going to travel to DSA.
South Yorkshire tried an Airport on the fringes of Sheffield and it failed. The population of South Yorkshire will never support an airport whilst EMA and LBA are available.
