Manchester Airports Group (MAG) - which owns and operates East Midlands Airport - is confident of a strong recovery in 2022 after Omicron restrictions on travel were removed.
Before temporary restrictions were introduced in November and December, MAG's airports, which also include Manchester and London Stansted, were seeing a stronger recovery than other UK airports.
According to data from November, the group was serving around 60% of pre-pandemic traffic, with London Stansted recovering at the fastest rate overall.
