I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this debate and his commitment to Doncaster Sheffield airport. I acknowledge the deep disappointment in South Yorkshire when the previous owners decided to close the airport. The airport's reopening has made progress with a £20 million investment, and Munich Airport International was appointed as operator. As aviation Minister, I am committed to supporting efforts to reopen the airport. We have allocated funds for bus improvement plans, active travel, and funding for low-emission vehicles and zero-emission buses. Regional airports play an important role in serving local communities and business by supporting thousands of jobs. The Minister acknowledged the issues raised, confirming that £8.4 million was provided to South Yorkshire for electric buses and charging infrastructure through the ZEBRA 1 programme. They highlighted ongoing progress in planning and design work for northern rail connectivity and announced a five-year investment of £570 million through the city region sustainable transport settlements programme to improve transport networks across eight UK city regions, including South Yorkshire. The Minister also mentioned an uplift in local transport funds by £200 million in 2025-26 as part of the autumn Budget announcement to support large city regions' growth and productivity. Emphasising the importance of public transport for airport connectivity, they noted that Doncaster Sheffield Airport would benefit from improved infrastructure. The Minister further addressed airspace modernisation, a manifesto commitment supporting quicker, quieter, and cleaner journeys. They reported progress in airspace modernisation initiatives with airports preparing for public consultations, stressing officials' efforts to reopen airspace benefiting the airport. The Minister concluded by expressing their readiness for continued engagement with South Yorkshire combined authority and City of Doncaster council to support reopening the airport.
