Robin Hood Airport brings both pros and cons for those living in the surrounding areas, from a large amount of business and generation of jobs, to air and noise pollution. |

Robin Hood Airport is fairly new, opening in April 2005, and so it is less likely that there will be any further major developments in the very near future. |

Robin Hood is still carrying out development to grow the airport’s facilities during its first years, and so the local community could notice increases in traffic and noise levels.
Currently the Airport is expected to welcome 1 million passengers in the first year of operation. This passenger figure is set to increase in the future.
However, should further airport development go ahead, air and noise pollution will be a concern for the local Doncaster community. However, any proposed airport expansion will need to be presented alongside improved operations and landscaping to minimise the effect and environmental concerns would also be carefully considered.
Airport expansion however would also create more jobs, act as a hub for regular flyers and also improve Doncaster’s tourist trade, and so could have a positive effect on the local house prices.
Airport expansion benefits have been summarised as follows:
- Good news for the local economy
- Good news for employees with more jobs created in a range of industries
- Good news for passengers with more destinations and a greater frequency of flights from local airports
- Good news for the UK regions ensuring local people and local business have better access to air services.
