In a connected world, the East Midlands is one of the best-connected regions in the UK: it’s the focal point for a whole series of regional and national transport networks – and the home of the largest dedicated airfreight airport in the country.
With global hubs for most of the world’s major airfreight logistics operators, East Midlands Airport’s freight statistics tell their own story about the region’s role in keeping business moving. It handles 375,000 tonnes of cargo each year, connects to 185 of the world’s largest city economies, and 80% of the UK’s warehouses are within a two-hour drive.
It’s also at the heart of EMAGIC – the East Midlands Airport Gateway Industrial Cluster – one of East Midlands Freeport’s three tax sites and the point where air, road, and rail freight come together to provide a multi-modal solution to all your logistics needs.
As home to global supply chain industries like aerospace and automotive, and as a strategic node in the UK’s connectivity, the East Midlands has a large and highly-skilled advanced logistics workforce which keeps the UK economy on the move!
