East Midlands Airport is gearing up for the busiest and most important time of year for its passenger operation. The end of term for some schools on Friday, April 1, marked the start of the airport’s ‘summer season’, which runs from April to October.
During these months EMA welcomes two-thirds of its total annual passengers. Over the Easter break, the airport expects about 250,000 passengers through its doors.
During the summer, the airlines that serve the airport adjust their flight schedules to accommodate more demand while increasing both frequency and numbers of destinations served. Between them, Ryanair, Jet2.com, TUI, Flybe, Aurigny and Blue Islands will fly to more than 50 destinations this year, giving passengers a choice of some of the most popular holiday hotspots in Europe, eastern Europe and northeast Africa.
