But Peel Group said services at the airport, which employs 800 workers, would wind down from 31 October this year.
Travel sources consulted by the Bulletin said that it would be a real blow and rob Mallorca of an important link with South Yorkshire. Doncaster airport has important links with the Balearics through the TUI Group and other travel companies.
South Yorkshire's Mayor Oliver Coppard told the BBC that he was "devastated by the announcement" and angry about the impact the closure would have on local communities.
"The Prime Minister, Liz Truss, said herself she wanted to protect DSA, so it's now over to the government to tell us what they might be able to do to keep the airport open," he added.

That's unfortunate, and an inconvenience for the handful of those who fly from this airport. I suppose they will have to go to another airport to go anywhere, not just Mallorca. But it's as much as a hundred fewer Brits coming to Mallorca. How will Mallorca survive?
Also, what will happen to the Cold War Vulcan Bomber museum based at the airport? Would be nice to have a National Aviation museum in UK, and keep the runway operational for this, as a last resort. I live in southern England, so I would never use Doncaster, but I feel sorry for all those people that use the airport, either for travel or jobs.
Politicians are full of hot air!!!. So Donny Hairyport could invite them all to a hot air balloon meeting at the Airport.
