It will probably end up being called Doncaster International. The airport already has its own IATA code which is DCS.
If they decide to call it South Yorks Int'l or something along those lines, it would confuse the hell out of overseas visitors. We already have two confusing airport names in the region (Humberside and East Midlands).
Mind you, Ryanair will probably rename it Manchester-Doncaster anyway !!!
Good news is that the airport got the go-ahead. Unlike Humberside it will not be council-run, and will have opening hours to suit operators, not council staff !!!
Good luck to everyone involved with DCS.

Apart from the above 14 customers and Donnygate Council junkets, can't see much high-yield demand for flying from here.
LBA isn't ideal but it is the Yorkshire business airport and t'lads wit'brass do live nearby (or use MAN).

God I hope not, anybody but them!
