Robin Hood Airport Consultative Committee

The Airport Consultative Committee is the forum in which the management of Doncaster Sheffield Airport Limited will interact and exchange information and ideas with communities in the vicinity of the airport, local authorities, local business representatives and other Airport users and other interested parties. Established pursuant to section 35 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 the role of the Committee is defined in its Terms of Reference as follows:

to advise Doncaster Sheffield Airport Limited on any matter which it may refer to the Committee;
to consider any question in connection with the operation of the Airport as it affects the communities represented or the amenities of the neighbourhood;
to make suggestions to the Managing Director of Doncaster Sheffield Airport Limited on any matter connected with the administration of the Airport which could further the interests of the communities represented;
to stimulate the interests of the local population in the development of the Airport; and
to protect and enhance the interests of the users of the Airport.

As stated in the Government's Guidelines on Consultative Committees it is not intended that consultation through the Committee should detract from the responsibility of management to manage the Airport. Rather the aim is to provide an effective forum for the discussion of all matters concerning the development or operation of the Airport, "which have an impact on the users of the aerodrome and on people living and working in the surrounding area".
