About Us
We are Fly Doncaster Ltd, a newly formed operating company set up to mobilise, reopen and manage the running of Doncaster Sheffield Airport. Established by the City of Doncaster Council, we are committed to establishing a top-class regional airport and maximising its potential to bring economic growth to the region.
The Airport
Doncaster Sheffield operated as a commercial airport between 2005 and 2022. Today this means the site already boasts an established terminal, several hangars and top-class facilities. Having this infrastructure in place, alongside an excellent proximity to transport links, makes it the ideal location for both passenger and commercial flights.

A wide range of skills behind airport operations
Running an airport depends on the work of many different teams. Air traffic control, engineering and airfield operations all contribute to the safe and efficient movement of aircraft, while areas such as customer services, security, hospitality and logistics support the wider airport environment.
The airport’s careers page outlines ambitions for opportunities across these areas as DSA develops. These represent the breadth of airport careers, rather than a list of roles currently open for applications. Each vacancy will have its own requirements, with specialist positions calling for relevant qualifications and experience.
Helping shape the airport’s future
Joining during preparations for reopening offers a distinctive opportunity. Teams are being established and operational procedures developed, giving those involved the chance to contribute their experience as the airport prepares to return to service.
For experienced aviation professionals, that can mean helping to shape how a service operates from the outset. The Air Traffic Controller role is one example of how recruitment is supporting this work.
A closer look at air traffic control
Air traffic controllers play a central role in aviation safety. At Doncaster Sheffield Airport, the role covers Aerodrome Control and Approach Radar Services, helping aircraft arrive, depart and move safely through controlled airspace.
Working with pilots, ground staff and other air traffic control units, controllers communicate essential information and respond to changing conditions. The work calls for sound judgement, clear communication and the ability to remain calm under pressure.
The opportunity at DSA also includes contributing to the development of operational procedures and working practices. From an upgraded control tower and radar environment, controllers will help establish the standards and teamwork needed to support the airport’s operations over the longer term.
This is a role for experienced controllers with a background in tower and approach radar control. Applicants should consult the full advert and person specification for the ATCO licence, ratings and recent currency requirements. Regional airport experience is welcomed, although it is not essential.
