This would confirm the statement issued to the BBC earlier this year giving the derestriction timetable.
The recategorisation comes as fewer large aircraft are expected to be in the area following the closure of the airport.
The managed air space would close unless another air traffic control provider came forward before 17 February 2023, otherwise it would change on 18 May, the CAA said.
The decision to stop the airspace changing had been paused while the judicial review was decided, but had since continued.
The CAA spokesperson said: "Doncaster Sheffield Airport has already notified airspace users it will cease to provide air traffic services and therefore does not require the controlled airspace that was previously used to support its operations.
“This airspace will therefore revert to being ‘uncontrolled’ airspace while we undertake a permanent airspace change process.”
They added: “This process will allow us to safely manage the withdrawal of the controlled airspace structures as we review the use of that airspace.”
( would love to see that beast fly again, although I doubt in all honesty it will ever happen, but for those who know it can only hope )
Which reminds me I must go through a hard drive where I have videos & photos of this @ a display the year it last flew,
A fundraising appeal has been launched in a bid to help preserve the last Cold War Vulcan bomber to take flight.
