Its first flight was to Palma and probably one of its last flights will be to the same destination as Doncaster (Sheffield) airport is to close. Owners Peel Group said the closure was due to a "fundamental lack of financial viability". Last week South Yorkshire's political leaders offered public money to keep the airport operating into 2023.

That's unfortunate, and an inconvenience for the handful of those who fly from this airport. I suppose they will have to go to another airport to go anywhere, not just Mallorca. But it's as much as a hundred fewer Brits coming to Mallorca. How will Mallorca survive?
Also, what will happen to the Cold War Vulcan Bomber museum based at the airport? Would be nice to have a National Aviation museum in UK, and keep the runway operational for this, as a last resort. I live in southern England, so I would never use Doncaster, but I feel sorry for all those people that use the airport, either for travel or jobs.
Politicians are full of hot air!!!. So Donny Hairyport could invite them all to a hot air balloon meeting at the Airport.
