Far too simplistic! Most of the airports mentioned are happy to be Regional Airports.
DSA was marketed from the start as an International Airport which would have services to everywhere & anywhere because it had a nice long runway.
Many locals believed what they were told and are now seeing the true situation opening up before their very eyes.
The catchment area was never big enough in the first place to sustain the airport.
Sheffield City Airport was South Yorkshire's other attempt at an airport!
