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 (5.6 km; 3.5 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.

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
