East Midlands AirportNottingham East Midlands Airport is located in the heart of England, surrounded by the historic cities of Nottingham, Leicester and Derby - Pride and Prejudice country. Although there is a smaller Nottingham Airport, tourists had difficulty placing ‘East Midlands’ and were more familiar with Nottingham - Robin Hood country. Despite this marketing ingenuity, Nottingham East Midlands Airport is frequently shortened to the more convenient NEMA. Between 3 and 4 million passengers a year pass through NEMA and it was once voted ‘Best UK Airport’ by readers of the Daily Telegraph. Around 60% of the passengers use bmibaby, easyJet and Ryanair confirming NEMA’s position as a popular airport for low-cost carriers. Nottingham East Midlands Airport is part of the Manchester Airport Group. The airport is located on the M1 northbound at J23A and is easy to get to, by car, from all parts of the UK.

You can choose from either Airparks at East Midlands for economical holiday parking or Prestige Parking for the convenience of parking next door to the airport terminal.

Both are located in the check-in hall. East Midlands Airport makes up for its lack of shops with the colourful Judi Judi World, ‘an Aladdin’s cave of gadgets and gift ideas’, and Rohde Shoes.
