Sheffield airport
Sheffield airport
Does seem a shame, the location appeared excellent.
To say that "DSA isn't really Sheffield" isn't the point: Heathrow is 20 mi. from London. Finningley is hardly a substitute, not neccessarily because of its location on the other side of Doncaster, but because of the inaccessibility.
Clearly a city the size of Sheffield does need an airport whether at Sheffield or at Finningley, if it's to be the latter, communications between it and Sheffield need to be beefed up.
Meanwhile Sheffield joins Croydon on the list of cities that used to have an airport!
Yes, before you start splitting hairs, BALHR, Croydon's Royal charter states "borough" rather than "city". City in this context means relatively densely populated urban centre. So no rant on this subject please.
