| | | | | | Rhodes: Encyclopedia II - Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield - Facilities The airport's runway has a length of 2981 metres (9781 feet) and a width of 60 metres (197 feet), making it longer and wider than those at many other airports in northern Britain, including Leeds/Bradford Airport and Humberside Airport, its closest competitors. This capability may make the airport attractive to operators of wide-bodied, long-haul or older cargo-carrying aircraft.
