'''East Midlands Airport''' {{Flygplatskoder|EMA|EGNX}} är en internationell [[flygplats]] i [[East Midlands]], [[England]]. Flygplatsen är belägen nära [[Castle Donington]] i nordvästra [[Leicestershire]], mellan [[Loughborough]] (16 km), [[Derby]] (20 km)  och [[Nottingham]] (23 km). [[Leicester]] ligger 32 km åt söder och Lincoln 69 km åt nordost. Den betjänar hela East Midlands-regionen Leicestershire, [[Nottinghamshire]], [[Lincolnshire]], [[Northamptonshire]], [[Rutland]] och [[Derbyshire]]. Flygfältet byggdes ursprungligen som en [[Royal Air Force]]-bas känd som RAF Castle Donington 1943, innan den byggdes om till en civil flygplats [[1965]].

East Midlands Airport har etablerat sig som ett nav för lågprisflygbolag som [[Jet2.com]] och [[Ryanair]] och researrangörer som TUI Airways, som betjänar en rad inhemska och europeiska kortdistansdestinationer. Passagerarantalet toppade [[2008]] med 5,6 miljoner men har minskat till cirka 3,2 miljoner [[2022]], vilket gör den till den 11:e mest trafikerade flygplatsen i [[Storbritannien]] av passagerartrafik. Som ett centralt flygfraktsnav, det var den näst mest trafikerade flygplatsen i Storbritannien för godstrafik 2016, efter [[London-Heathrows flygplats|London-Heathrow]].<ref name="stats" />

Flygplatsen ägs av Manchester Airports Group (MAG), den största brittiskägda flygplatsoperatören, som kontrolleras av de tio storstadskommunerna i [[Greater Manchester]], med Manchester City Council som besitter den kontrollerande andelen.<ref>{{Cite news |date=15 February 2012 |title=AGMA to consider Manchester Airport restructure in takeover bid |work=Manchester Evening News |url=http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/business/s/1485606_manchester-airport-owners-agree-restructure-to-fund-stansted-acquisition |url-status=live |access-date=12 April 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130420230150/http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/business/s/1485606_manchester-airport-owners-agree-restructure-to-fund-stansted-acquisition |archive-date=20 April 2013}}</ref>

==Historik==
RAF Castle Donington öppnades som en Royal Air Force-bas 1943, under [[andra världskriget]]. Flygfältet var utrustat med tre betongbanor, tillsammans med två hangarer, och var ett satellitflygfält till RAF Wymeswold, beläget cirka 14 km åt sydost. Inledningsvis användes flygfältet av 28 Operational Training Unit, utbildning av RAF Bomber Command-besättningar på [[Vickers Wellington]], och därefter av 108 Operational Training Unit, senare omdöpt till 1382 Transport Conversion Unit, som utbildade RAF Transport Command-besättningar på [[Douglas Dakota]]. Flygfältet stängdes och flygvapnets station avvecklades 1946.<ref name="pscape">Historic England. "East Midlands Airport (1390986)". Research records (formerly PastScape).

En grupp lokala myndigheter köpte den tidigare RAF-basen 1964, då ett betydande rekonstruktions- och investeringsprogram för landningsbanor lanserades. Flygfältet döptes om till East Midlands Airport för att spegla området det betjänade och öppnade för passagerare i april 1965.<ref name=pscape/><ref name=emoh/>

Det tillkännagavs bara drygt ett år senare, den 3 maj 2012, att Bmibaby skulle lägga ner och upphöra med all verksamhet i september 2012, med ett antal tjänster som lades ner från juni. Moderbolaget, International Airlines Group, angav stora förluster och misslyckandet med att hitta en lämplig köpare som skäl för beslutet.<ref>{{Cite web |date=3 May 2012 |title=BMI Baby to be grounded by BA owner IAG |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17940539 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925142111/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17940539 |archive-date=25 September 2015 |access-date=14 October 2016 |publisher=BBC |quote="BMI Baby has delivered high levels of operational performance and customer service, but has continued to struggle financially, losing more than £100m in the last four years,"}}</ref>

Under 2016 hanterade Heathrow 1,54 miljoner ton frakt och post, jämfört med 300&nbsp;100 ton i East Midlands.<ref name="stats" /> DHL Aviation har en stor specialbyggd anläggning hos EMA, och budföretagen [[United Parcel Service]] (UPS) och TNT använder flygplatsen som bas för att importera och exportera frakt.

Den 4 mars 2020 gick [[Flybe]] in i administrationen,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Advice to UK consumers following Flybe entering administration {{!}} UK Civil Aviation Authority |url=https://www.caa.co.uk/News/Advice-to-UK-consumers-following-Flybe-entering-administration/ |access-date=2020-03-30 |website=www.caa.co.uk}}</ref> och EMA meddelade att alla flyg var inställda med omedelbar verkan, följande dag.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Flybe has ceased trading and all future flights from the UK cancelled |url=https://mediacentre.eastmidlandsairport.com/flybe-has-ceased-trading-and-all-future-flights-from-the-uk-are-cancelled/ |access-date=2020-03-30 |website=Flybe has ceased trading and all future flights from the UK cancelled |language=en}}</ref>
