Sources report Doncaster Sheffield Airport sale deal is close

Overview

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority is reportedly close to purchasing Doncaster Sheffield Airport outright from the Peel Group, marking a shift from previous plans to lease the site. The airport closed in 2022 after being deemed commercially unviable, and local authorities have been working to reopen it using public funds.

Key points

  • Sources claim the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) is close to buying Doncaster Sheffield Airport from the Peel Group.
  • The potential purchase represents a change from earlier plans to secure a long-term lease after a year of private talks.
  • No financial figures for the sale have been disclosed, and funding details remain unclear, though SYMCA has held £160m for the airport's reopening since September 2025.
  • Both SYMCA and Doncaster Council declined to comment directly on speculation, citing ongoing negotiations.
  • Doncaster Sheffield Airport closed in 2022 after the Peel Group declared it commercially unviable.
