East Midlands airport expansion plan announced
Plans to double destinations offered from Nottingham East Midlands Airport to 200 in 10 years have been unveiled.
The airport’s draft plans for future development until 2030 are going out for public consultation until May 14.
The ‘master plan’ calls for a doubling in airport jobs to 14,000-15,000 by 2016 and 26,000 in 25 years.
But it rules out a second runway, saying all development can be contained within the existing site.
The final version of the master plan will be produced after consideration of all views and comments received during the three-month consultation period, and is expected to be published in the summer.
Airport managing director Penny Coates said: “Our vision is to develop an airport that makes the East Midlands feel proud. An airport that provides high quality jobs, contributes to the competitiveness of local businesses, promotes inward investment to the region, facilitates trade with the rest of the world and is responsive to local peoples’ desire to travel.”
