Look how hard it is a Cardiff
Referring back to the Cardiff discussion the Doncaster / Sheffield region suffers from many of the same socio-economic issues as does South Wales in terms of affluence. Solve those and, as with Cardiff the case for a thriving passenger driven airport improves.
Its not the fault of the population but of lack of investment over decades. A familiar UK problem.
