Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield (IATA: DSA, ICAO: EGCN) is an international airport
Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield (IATA: DSA, ICAO: EGCN) is an international airport located at the former RAF Finningley airbase at Finningley, in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster within South Yorkshire, England. The airport lies 3 NM ( km; mi) southeast of Doncaster[1] and 18 mi (29 km) east of Sheffield. The airport was initially operated by Peel Airports, a division of The Peel Group. At this time, Peel Airports owned and managed Liverpool John Lennon Airport, Robin Hood Airport and City Airport Manchester. Peel Airports also owned a 75% stake in Durham Tees Valley Airport, the remaining 25% being owned by local councils in the DTVA area.[3] By 2010 the Peel Group was attempting to secure outside investment for Peel Airports. In June 2010 it was announced that Vantage Airport Group (formerly Vancouver Airport Services) had agreed to buy a 65% stake in Peel Airports, with The Peel Group retaining the remaining 35%.[4] However, following a significant decline in passenger numbers,[5] Peel Airports sold Durham Tees Valley Airport back to the Peel Group in February 2012.[3] In the second half of 2012, monthly passenger numbers at Robin Hood fell significantly[6] and in December 2012 it was announced that Robin Hood would also be sold back to the Peel Group.[7] As a result, by January 2013 only Liverpool John Lennon Airport was still owned by Peel Airports, with Vantage Airport Group owning 65% of this company.[8] At Durham Tees Valley Airport and Robin Hood Airport, Vantage's involvement had ended. Robin Hood Airport was once again wholly owned by The Peel Group,[9] while at Durham Tees Valley Airport The Peel Group were majority shareholders, with local councils retaining a minority stake. Handling around 700,000 passengers in 2012, Robin Hood Airport is the smaller of Yorkshire's two large commercial airports, the other being Leeds Bradford Airport.[2] Doncaster Sheffield Airport has a CAA Public Use Aerodrome Licence (Number P876) that a
