Louise Congdon, an expert on airport economics at the York Aviation consultancy, warned that while re-opening Doncaster-Sheffield Airport might create good employment opportunities, Doncaster Council should "not expect any money back".

"The market is focusing on bigger airports where airlines can make more money," she said.

"To get airlines to use marginal airports like Doncaster, you have to pay them large sums to get them to operate.

"In those circumstances, it's unlikely a smaller airport like Doncaster would be able to cover its operating costs."

Course she’s accused of being in Peels pockets, all part of the ‘peel just wanted the land’ narrative.

Who knows, perhaps the winning bidder, whoever it is, a revolutionary solution.
