Leaders from across the local business community are celebrating the announcement that Munich Airport International has been appointed as the operating partner that will soon be running Doncaster Sheffield Airport working closely with the City of Doncaster Council.
]Dan Fell, Chief Exec of Doncaster Chamber, said: “We are thrilled that Munich Airport International will be overseeing the reopening of our region’s international airport, as they have real clout and expertise in this space. Entrusted in such a safe pair of hands, DSA is now poised to unlock its full potential and reap the economic benefits — for both our city and also for the wider South Yorkshire region — that have long been touted.
“The business community has always recognised the strategic importance of DSA and has been unequivocal in its support for the fight to preserve this valuable asset. Whether it’s by generating thousands of jobs, by creating exciting new supply chain opportunities, by increasing our access to the best talent, or by simply boosting inbound tourism, the airport has a lot of untapped potential, and it is estimated by City of Doncaster Council that the net economic benefits of its eventual reopening could be worth up to £1.5 billion within the first three decades of reopening.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to applaud the local authority for getting this deal over the line. The entrepreneurialism and tenacity they have demonstrated over these past couple of years has been impressive.”
