Earlier this year, the UK government revealed £30million was being put towards its reopening, with hopes to restart operations by the first half of 2026

Doncaster East and Isle of Axholme Labour MP Lee Pitcher has now confirmed that he was in talks with both Ryanair and TUI..

He stated on social media: "I chaired a positive DSA Action Group meeting with Ryanair, represented by their Head of Public Affairs.

“We discussed Ryanair’s position on Doncaster SheffieldAirport — and I’m pleased that they’ve agreed to be introduced to Fly Doncaster, the company that will manage the airport in partnership with international operator Munich International."

Not only are airlines being discussed but a new train station which would connect the airport with the national railway network.
