Sobre East Midlands Airport

East Midlands Airport (EMA) is the airport for the East Midlands of England, serving Nottingham, Derby and Leicester. It stands at Castle Donington in north-west Leicestershire, beside the junction of the M1, the A42 and the A50, about 10 miles (16 km) from Loughborough, 12.5 miles (20 km) from Derby, 14 miles (23 km) from Nottingham and 20 miles (32 km) from Leicester.

Most passenger flights are leisure routes. Jet2 and TUI, the two based airlines, fly to Spain, the Canary Islands, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey and Egypt, while Ryanair adds year-round flights to Ireland, Poland and Latvia and seasonal city breaks across Europe. Aer Lingus links the airport with Belfast City, and Loganair flies to Jersey in summer. The airport handled about 4 million passengers in 2025.

All passenger flights use one terminal, with the coach station for the Skylink buses beside it. East Midlands is also one of the UK's main cargo airports, a hub for DHL, UPS and FedEx.

From the airport, most travelers head into Nottingham, Derby or Leicester, to Loughborough and its university, or to Donington Park, the motor racing circuit next to the airport. East Midlands Parkway railway station, about 4 miles (6 km) away, connects with trains to London St Pancras and Sheffield.

Consejos de llegada a East Midlands Airport

International arrivals go through UK passport control first, where many visitors can use the eGates. Most visitors who do not need a UK visa, including EU and US citizens, must hold an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before they fly. Flights from Ireland and Belfast are within the Common Travel Area.

East Midlands has one terminal, so there is no terminal to choose: after baggage claim you pass through the green or red customs channel into the arrivals hall. If you booked assistance through your airline, the Assisted Travel team meets you on the aircraft, and there is a dedicated waiting area in baggage claim.

In the arrivals hall, Arrow Cars, the airport's official private hire company, has a booking desk. The Skylink buses to Nottingham, Derby and Leicester leave from the coach station next to the terminal. Pre-booked drivers usually meet you in the arrivals hall.
