STOP PRESS:

Robin Hood Airport are keen to stress restrictions that remain in force regarding liquids which are placed in hand luggage, brought in after terror scares two years ago.

Robin Hood Airport director Mike Morton said: "The summer holidays are an extremely busy time for the airport.

"To avoid costly mistakes for passengers, and to keep queuing times to a minimum, we're asking passengers to come prepared and to think about what they are carrying in their hand luggage."

He added: "When items are discovered in hand luggage which exceed the volumes allowed, or do not comply with the restrictions, we have no alternative but to confiscate them, slowing down the security process for other passengers and causing disappointment for the individual concerned."

Current limits mean liquids, gels and aerosols can be carried in individual 100ml containers which fit comfortably in a re-sealable clear bag no larger than 20cm by 20cm. But passengers are advised to put liquids within their hold luggage at check-in.

All items in hand luggage are subject to search.

Passengers are limited to one item of hand luggage through the security screening point when travelling from Robin Hood, with a maximum size of 56cm by 45cm by 25cm.

New Security Measures at the Airport

As a result of the events at Glasgow Airport, all UK Airports have been directed by the Department for Transport, to increase security measures in front of terminal buildings, hence the concrete blocks currently in place around the entrance to the terminal. The safety of our passengers, visitors and staff is paramount therefore, together with increasing the capacity of our car park, have taken the step of directing all vehicles into the Public Car Park. Passengers and visitors are permitted 15 minutes parking free of charge, to drop off and collect passengers. The current drop off lane will close completely to public vehicles over the coming weeks. This work is part of the airports overall commitment to improving access to the site, whilst maintaining security nearest the Terminal Building.

THE HISTORY

RAF Finningley:  http://www.rotherhamweb.co.uk/features/finningley.htm

Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield, the UK's newest purpose built International Airport, is built on the site of a former Royal Air Force airbase, RAF Finningley [world famous for its military air displays]. The scheme to convert RAF Finningley into a commercial airport attracted a massive amount of support from local residents, the business community and particularly the wider aviation industry, who appriciated that there was a gap in the provision of aviation services within the Yorkshire, Humber and surrounding regions.

RAF Finningley opened in 1936 and is best known as the front-line bomber command base during World War II and the Cold War. The base was also one of the largest training facilities in the RAF, providing a centre of excellence for pilots and navigators.

The Airport runway is just less than 2 miles [2891 metres] long and was resurfaced in 1989 before the Ministry of Defence declared the site surplus to requirement in March 1995.

Robin Hood Airport commenced commercial operation on 28th April 2005, and has now welcomed over 2.6 million passengers.
