As a major employer in the region, we are committed to supporting our local community as part of the way we do business.
East Midlands Airport is committed to supporting our local community by investing in our colleagues. Together we can make a big difference to the lives of local people. This is why we encourage all our colleagues to take part in community volunteering opportunities and we allow them to take some time out of their working day to do so.
Volunteering is beneficial to both our business and the community, with community members seeing support for their project, and colleagues feeling motivated and engaged.
If you have a project that needs support please contact us: community@eastmidlandsairport.com.
Thank you to those of you who took part in our 2024 Community Impact Survey. Your thoughts, opinions and responses help us to shape our Community Strategy and ensure that our programmes and projects best support our local community.
Our Community Survey allows us to gather feedback from a wide variety of local stakeholders, including people we have worked with during the years, as well as those with whom we have not. The results of the survey help us to gain an understanding of the issues that are affecting the local area. They also help us in identifying potential gaps in our programme or areas in the community that could benefit from the airport’s support.

East Midlands Airport is aware of the issue of fly-parking in our local villages, and in particular the parking or waiting of taxis. Whilst this is not illegal, we recognise that this is a nuisance for our neighbours.
You can report incidents of fly-parking by taxis in the local area by emailing community@eastmidlandsairport.com. Please provide the registration number of the taxi, the name of the taxi company and which licencing authority it belongs to, as well as where it was parked and on what date. Without this information, we cannot take any action.
If sufficient information is provided, we will follow these incidents up by contacting the taxi company directly or writing to the relevant licensing authorities. We will issue a letter to the taxi company directly or through their licencing authority, requesting that they use our free one-hour parking facility.
