Doncaster Sheffield Airport’s Airspace Change Proposal | Public Consultation

I am writing to inform you that on Monday 3 August 2026, Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) will launch a public consultation about proposals to reinstate controlled airspace and introduce the arrival and departure procedures needed for DSA to reopen safely and bring passenger and cargo flights back to the region.

This proposal is being sponsored by the City of Doncaster Council (CDC) and is the centrepiece of South Yorkshire Airport City (SYAC), a major regional growth programme designed to restore aviation services and unlock thousands of new jobs across the advanced manufacturing, engineering, logistics and green technologies. The project is being delivered through a partnership between national government, the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority and CDC.

Government backing for the SYAC programme has enabled significant investment to prepare the airport for reopening, reflecting national importance of restoring regional connectivity, supporting trade and driving economic growth across the North. The airport’s return forms part of the Governments wider devolution agenda, demonstrating how locally led, nationally supported investment can deliver regeneration, skilled employment and long-term prosperity.

Our Airspace Change Proposal (ACP) is to reinstate controlled airspace and introduce the arrival and departure procedures needed for DSA to open.

The consultation will run for 9 weeks from Monday 3 August – Sunday 4 October 2026, and we hope you can take part and share your views with us.

If you have any questions or require further information that is not detailed within the attached leaflet, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our consultation team at dsa-airspaceconsultation@flydsa.com or on 0800 043 3099.
