Want to get involved? join the AVA

Without the Aeropark Volunteers Association (AVA), the Aeropark would not exist. Our little piece of aviation history in North West Leicestershire is thanks wholly to the effort and dedication of the volunteers. Their selfless enthusiasm, hard work and willingness to give up spare time enables the Aeropark to go from strength to strength – but they could always use some more help.

The AVA members staff the main entrance building, maintain the site, conduct tours and most importantly give all the exhibits the tender loving care needed to keep them in good condition. They have built the Romney Building and dismantled, transported and re-assembled many of the aircraft exhibits on display today bringing them from locations all over the UK. The Airport is very proud to be involved with the AVA.  

If you’d like to find out more or become a member and support their valuable work as part of the extended family at East Midlands Airport, the annual charges are:

The AVA members are not employed by the Airport Company and volunteer their services free of charge. In return the Airport has developed, and continues to develop, the site re-investing every penny of the entrance money paid by visitors. As such the Aeropark is totally self-funding and relies on its visitors to survive.
