A spokesperson for the Save DSA campaign said: “Oliver Coppard will be taking questions directly from the public about the airport's reopening and what comes next.
“We've come a long way in four years, but there are still plenty of questions about airlines, cargo, radar, reopening dates, jobs and the opportunities DSA will bring to our region.
“This is your opportunity to ask those questions directly.
“Whether you're a supporter, local resident, business owner or just interested in the airport's future, everyone is welcome.
We've fought for over four years to get our airport back. Let's keep showing our support and make sure our voices continue to be heard!
