Sheffield Airport is soon to close and be redeveloped into a business park. The airport never quite made it owing to its limited plane capacity (too short a runway) and competition from nearby airports.

See the airport's own Official Web Site for more details.

Sheffield's nearest airport is now Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield - see the link below.

NEW ROBIN HOOD DONCASTER SHEFFIELD AIRPORT
A new airport to this area is the "Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport" and is located at the former RAF base at Finningley. See here for airport and flight information - www.robinhoodairport.com.

This airport has a long runway due to previously handling RAF aircraft and is offering longer distance flights than the old original Sheffield City Airport could.
