A total of 80 per cent of all large-scale warehouse sites in the UK are within 125 miles of the airport
East Midlands Airport is set to increase its role in powering UK trade, with tens of thousands of jobs and billions in economic value set to be unlocked at the site. The airport is set to grow its air cargo operation after a new study showed it has a "unique" combination of strengths that make it perfectly placed to support increased demand for air freight in the years ahead.
It is this fastest-growing type of air cargo that is tipped to account for an increasing share of all goods shipped around the world in the years to come. EMA also has the capacity to accommodate an increase in cargo flights as the economy grows, while other airports in the market are facing constraints.These factors combine to place the airport in a position to build on its status as one of the UK's most important express air freight hubs.
