Is DSA Closing?

Published in Airport Operations Status 1 min read

No, Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) is not currently closing; it has recently reopened after a period of closure.

Past Closure of Doncaster Sheffield Airport

Doncaster Sheffield Airport previously ceased its operations. The decision to close the airport was made by its owners, the Peel Group, who stated the business was no longer viable. Key reasons contributing to this closure included:

  • The airport had not turned a profit since it first opened, 17 years prior to its shutdown.
  • The persistent financial unviability made continued operations unsustainable.

DSA's Reopening and Current Status

After being closed for approximately two years, Doncaster Sheffield Airport has successfully welcomed its first flights once again. This significant development marks a new chapter, as the airport is now operational and actively serving passengers and cargo traffic, reversing its previous closure status.
