Robin Hood Doncaster Finningley Sheffield Arthur Scargill International is currently in Class G airspace. As a GA pilot, I will resist ANY attempt to increase the level of Class D airspace in order to facilitate the wholesale loco airline transport of the pierced, tattooed, shell-suited dregs of society to some Mediterranean destination where they can drink and drug themselves into oblivion!

The airport's business plan should not assume any increase in the level of airspace beyond a 2.5 mile Class G ATZ merely to suit the commercial aspirations of Chavair - we have already seen this being attempted at Coventry.

How is it that Humberside manages without the size of airspace grab proposed for Finningley?
