Nottingham East Midlands Airport (IATA: EMA, ICAO: EGNX) is an airport in the East Midlands of England, near Castle Donington in Leicestershire. It lies between the cities of Derby, Leicester and Nottingham, all within a 30 mile radius of the airfield.In a controversial move in 2004, East Midlands Airport was renamed Nottingham East Midlands Airport, despite lying in Leicestershire and the nearest city being Derby. Furthermore, there was already Nottingham Airport, which is closer to Nottingham, despite being a small airfield catering for general aviation. The reasoning behind the name change was that many people from outside the UK and unfamiliar with the country's geography, could not identify with the term 'East Midlands' and understandably did not know exactly where in the UK it was. The argument for adding 'Nottingham' to the name was two-fold; firstly, Nottingham is the administrative 'capital' of the East Midlands region and secondly, the city had greater international recognition through its size and historical connections. This was theory was somewhat blown to pieces when the BBC's local news program East Midlands Today travelled to Amsterdam. Whilst there they asked locals the location of Nottingham on a map of the UK. The vast majority failed.
The airport is has excellent connections to the motorway network due to its proximity to the M1 and M42 motorways, bringing the airfield within easy reach of the major population centres of the midlands. However, access by train is not easy, the closest railway station being Long Eaton but the Airline Shuttle service links the airport directly to Loughborough railway station.
The train operator Midland Mainline is building a new railway station East Midlands Parkway closer to the airport, to which it will be linked by shuttle bus.
Nottingham East Midlands has established itself as a hub for low fares airlines easyJet, bmibaby and Ryanair, and serves a range of domestic and European short haul destinations. A major development towards the long haul programme came in 2005 with the introduction of holiday flights to the Dominican Republic, Orlando, and Cancun by the First Choice Airways.
