I think there is no point speculating. There is some doubt about whether dsamole’s report is true, and if it is there is time for things to change.

let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Its true. Sadly, he is right again.

let’s wait and see. Even if it’s true that Tui are putting in extra support that is just prudent worst case support.

There will be a lot of people who are very worried right now. We don’t need to make it any worse for them.

24 hours to go.

dsamole facts are not wholy accurate. Whenever there is a possibility of bad news, airlines will ensure staff impacts are minimal where human performance / human factors may be a risk. That is what is happening here, its contingency planning

Only 20 times more than Teesside - shy bairns get nowt

[dsamole]

A price no-one will be willing to pay, therefor PEEL win, regardless of the consultation outcome, they know what they want to do with the land. ROI is tenfold of the airport income, and the council are not interested in saving it, they'd get a nice new income of rates etc.

Hope they've got a contingency plan in place for the management who have run this airport into the ground over the last few years when they begin to cry.

Quoted by one of the TUI pilots/investor consortium that has placed a bid.

It's game over. It was never going to be saved.

It’s a random figure on a social media group with no factual backup .

however I fully expect the figure to be substantial as Peel have planning permission sorted around the edge of the airport, and if the worst happens at some point they will get planning.

whoever buys it has to accept that. The upside is if it fails they also have the development option.

it is one of the issues for uses that require big spaces of open land.

I am sure that all involved know all of this.

Where is the source for your info?

where is the source for your info. You state a lot of figures etc but with no credible backup? I’ve seen these numbers around social media from folk not even remotely connected or interested in DSA so do we believe everything we see online?

I thought as much..... Thanks.

While ever it's an airport there are safe guarding controls for thr surrounding sites which will restrict what can go in those locations, however of not a safeguarded aerodrome anything could go there.....

peel went on a buying spree many years ago and own a good chunk of the land around the airport. They have now got planning consents or at least allocation on most of it.

the issue I’m sure is how a purchaser funds an airport purchase when it’s value is far greater in isolation as development land.

One thing I can’t get my head around is whether there’s some kind of land use clause on the estate which stipulates must be used for aviation purposes. If this is not the case then given the amount that’s been spent to connect the land to the M18, why not?

I realise I’m naive to the legalities of such things, and I suspect that if Peel are intending to close it down then they’d only do so and not sell it on as a going concern if there wasn’t anything stopping them from a change use. Anyone on here got any idea?

Don't know the answer to that but would Doncaster Council not welcome the opportunity for land that could fulfil future residential /commercial use quotas etc? Just thinking out loud...

Is South Yorkshire short of brown field sites?

Going by social media, popular opinion seems to suggest that any planning applications should be blocked, but we know there would need to be reasonable grounds to do this and blocking building on the runway would be thrown out at appeal. More £££ to the council in other uses definitely. Just wondered whether there were any other powers available to South Yorks mayor in this situation.
