The Secretary of State for Transport Anne-Marie Trevelyan said that Peel’s view on closing Doncaster Sheffield Airport was sealed and that negotiations lay between Peel and the council.

Speaking to ITV Calendar earlier this week, she said: “Discussions have been ongoing between the Labour council and the owners, and I think they are at a point at the moment where they don’t see a way through, but the Labour council have told me they think there are potential customers so I have told them both to see if they can justify a way to make Peel holdings believe that this is something that can be viable.

“They have run effectively an unviable airport for a number of years, they have asked the Labour council over a number of years to support them and haven’t had that support and it’s been a bit last-minute.
