It serves as an airport for the cities of Derby (22 km), Nottingham (24 km) and Leicester (32 km). The airport is a hub for low-fare airlines like Ryanair adn Jet2.com. It is the 11th busiest airport in the UK in terms of passenger traffic. In 2016 the airport handled about <\/span><strong>4.5 million passengers<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, it is <\/span><strong>a major air cargo hub<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, since it\u2019s second busiest in the country by freight traffic, right after London Heathrow. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_to_and_from_the_East_Midlands_Airport\"><\/span>Getting to and from the East Midlands Airport<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_transport\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #2a2a2a;\">Public transport<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">East Midlands Airport has an efficient connection with the rest of the region. When it comes to public transport, you\u2019ll have no problems in reaching the airport or the city centre. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bus\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #2a2a2a;\"><b>Bus<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Connections are available to the north and south of the country from Derby, Nottingham and Long Eaton, with bus services to each station possible through regular <\/span><strong>Skylink bus<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> services to and from the airport. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Derby<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; the <\/span><strong>Skylink bus<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> connects this station with the airport up to every 20 minutes, seven days a week, with a journey time of around 36 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nottingham<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; the <\/span><strong>Skylink bus <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">connect this station with the airport every half an hour, seven days a week with a journey time of 30 minutes, stopping right outside the Station. &nbsp;Alternatively, the <\/span><strong>Nottingham Skylink<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">operates up to every 20 minutes, seven days a week, with a journey time of 55 minutes departing from Broadmarsh Bus Station, just 5 minutes away from Nottingham Train Station.

You can find one at the taxi rank outside the Arrivals area at the airport. The fees vary depending on your destination, but don\u2019t expect to pay under <\/span><strong>25-30\u20ac<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">per direction. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transfer\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #2a2a2a;\">Transfer<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way of traveling from the airtport is with a <strong>private, door-to-door transfer from East Midlands International Airport&nbsp; to your accommodation<\/strong>&nbsp;in the city. Transfer can be <a href=\"https:\/\/getbytransfer.com\/\">booked in advance<\/a>&nbsp;and a professional driver will wait for you at the airport and take you to your destination. You can even pre-order a child safety seat if you\u2019re travelling with a child. It may cost you probably the same as taxi or even more, but if there are people to share your transfer with, then this is the cheaper option. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Renting_a_car_at_East_Midlands_Airport\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #2a2a2a;\">Renting a car at East Midlands Airport<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those of you who would like to reach the city and explore the area on their own, the best option is to rent a car directly at the airport. Major car rental companies such as Hertz, National, Enterprise and Europcar offer their services there. Compare their prices and avoid waiting in line by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/buscroatia.carrentalnet.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">booking online.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Renting_a_bus_at_East_Midlands_Airport\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #2a2a2a;\">Renting a bus at East Midlands Airport<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re coming in a larger group of people, consider renting a bus for your journey. Keep in mind to book it in advance, so the transfer company has enough time to inform you on the meeting point and all other relevant information.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/Traveling.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/East-Midlands-Airport-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"East Midlands Airport\" class=\"wp-image-35875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2bgjx2gb489de.cloudfront.net\/gbb-blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/12134805\/East-Midlands-Airport-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d2bgjx2gb489de.cloudfront.net\/gbb-blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/12134805\/East-Midlands-Airport-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2bgjx2gb489de.cloudfront.net\/gbb-blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/12134805\/East-Midlands-Airport-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2bgjx2gb489de.cloudfront.net\/gbb-blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/12134805\/East-Midlands-Airport.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accommodation_near_East_Midlands_Airport\"><\/span>Accommodation near East Midlands Airport<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>[stay22 pid=&#8221;3667&#8243;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"East_Midlands_Airport_-_FAQs\"><\/span>East Midlands Airport &#8211; FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><\/strong><strong>I arrive late at the airport.
