Best Time to Visit
As with many public airports, Doncaster Sheffield Airport traces its origins back to being a military base in World War II, where it was then known as RAF Finningley. Commercial demand led to the base being reopened as a civil airport known as Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield in 2005. This name was the subject of controversy for Doncaster residents. It was not until 2016 that the name would be changed to Doncaster Sheffield Airport thanks to new corporate sponsorship deals with Sheffield Arena. Some of the English cities and towns near the airport include Dunnington, Earswick, and Green Hammerton.
