Doncaster Sheffield Airport: New website launched for planned re-opening

A new website has been launched as part of plans to reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport.

The site, www.flydsa.com, was built by Doncaster company Moirae Creative who are based just a few minutes' drive from the terminal building and brings together all the information that individuals and companies might need about the project.

Split into different sections, including ‘About’, ‘Airport City’ and ’News’, the website will act as the first point of contact for those wishing to find out more about the project.

It will be updated regularly with the latest developments and milestones associated with DSA.

David Plant, founder of Moirae Creative said of the project: “As a Doncaster business, this project means a huge amount to us.

“I’ve grown up with the airport on our doorstep and seen what it brings to the area, so being trusted to deliver the website is something I’m incredibly proud of.

“We’ve built it to a standard that reflects the scale and ambition of the project, and we’re fully behind its success.”

Around fifty people are already employed on site at DSA as part of reopening plans, including individuals who have worked at the airport previously, and those with experience at other sites, such as Manchester, Gatwick and East Midlands.

The airport is currently searching for a Fixed Base Operator, which will help provide coordination for private and general aviation traffic, while concurrently, the Airspace Change Proposal moves towards its public consultation phase this summer.

It comes as plans to re-open the airport have been thrown into turmoil after Reform UK announced it’s party’s councillors who agreed to a £57 million loan in November to fund the re-opening have now changed their minds on the deal, calling a fresh City of Doncaster Council meeting to discuss its approval on April 30.

Labour has warned that if the funding is not given the go-ahead it would “kill” the airport re-opening.
