Sustainable Development Plan
Setting out the context for the growth and development of East Midlands Airport
The East Midlands Airport Sustainable Development Plan is our vision of how we see the airport developing over the next 20 years. Our previous plan was published in 2015 and following public consultation, we have now published our updated 2026 Sustainable Development Plan.
The Sustainable Development Plan (SDP) sets out what our aspirations are for the future of East Midlands Airport. In this plan we consider how passengers travel to and from the airport, the extent of the airport's economic impact and how we can support the local community.
It is important for us to look at how any development of East Midlands Airport can be sustainable long term, and how this will impact our local area.
We are ambitious for the development of the airport and our region. Our aim is to deepen the role that we play in the Midlands; driving growth through effortless travel and seamless trade; creating jobs and attracting investment and enabling our passengers to enjoy their travel to their favourite destinations from their local airport. We are committed to growing the airport in a responsible and sustainable way, working with our partners to minimise disturbance and reduce emissions.
We are working together with our airline customers and our partners across the East Midlands to develop the airport and bring maximum benefit to the region. We also want to make sure that our plans are up to date to meet the opportunities and challenges of the future.
