Doncaster Sheffield Airport will begin winding down at the end of October, owner Peel Group says.
Ms Truss admitted she was "very concerned" to hear the decision to close, adding the government was working with local leaders and Peel Group "to see what can be done".Image caption,Responding to Ms Truss' comments, South Yorkshire's Mayor Oliver Coppard said: "I am really glad that the prime minister has said, again, that she is going to step in and help us save Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
Mr Coppard, who is now awaiting contact with Downing Street, said everything had been done "locally and regionally" to keep the airport open. He suggested the government could use measures under the Civil Contingencies Act to save the airport. During the same interview, Ms Truss was asked how, as a mother, she felt about Leeds charity Zarach, which provides beds for children living in poverty, receiving 40 referrals in the first week of the school year.
Ms Truss, who grew up in the Roundhay area of the city, replied: "I feel terrible. I am very concerned about those children's future, and what I am determined to do as prime minister is to make sure that we act to secure a positive future for people in Leeds and right across the country."
