This was reported on Yorkshire Tv News tonight, report taken from their website :-
It has been reported that Sheffield's struggling airport could be sold off for just ONE pound in a secret deal just seven years after the facility opened.
The airport is built on hundreds of acres of publicly-owned prime development land.
Under terms agreed by the former Sheffield Development Corporation in 1997 this is now due to be transferred to the airport operators for just £1.
But it is understood that already the operators in partnership with developers have submitted a planning application to the city council for the site to be turned into a business park.
If approved it would make it worth millions. Sheffield City Council is now calling for an independent inquiry.
