Sheffield Airport To Close - 22nd April 08
Just been informed that Sheffield City Airport is to close on 22nd April. Hell of shock as we had previously been told 2-3 years before we would have to think about moving our group aircraft, now we have 90 days.
I feel even more sorry for all the staff there connected with the airport who apparently were given letters last night. Fantastic people, always friendly and willing to give a hand outside of their job description! I hope they find alternative employment quickly.
Our group is getting together to discuss what to do, but doubt there is any way we can challenge Peel. I understand it was looked at previously but they have it pretty well stiched up - As well as us!!!!!
Good 'ole Sheffield City Council & Peel Holdings!
