East Midlands Airport is the UK’s busiest for dedicated freight aircraft. It’s second only to Heathrow in terms of the total tonnage of cargo in a year. Through EMA, goods are transported worldwide by major on-site operators which include DHL, UPS, Royal Mail, and TNT/FedEx. EMA’s cargo success is partly attributed to the fact that the airport is one of very few that has unrestricted night-time flying.
This event will give you unique airside access to observe the night-time operation up-close. East Midlands Airport is the region’s global gateway connecting people to over 80 destinations worldwide and goods to 200 countries.
This tour gives delegates a behind-the-scenes look at how EMA makes the transition from daytime low-cost short haul holiday airport to a specialist cargo Hub. This includes a minibus tour of the apron and a visit to DHL’s facility.
All delegates must bring their passport with them, as we will be going airside.
Details of joining instructions will be sent 7 days before the event from the Event Organiser
