Engaging Communities
As part of our ongoing commitment to the local community, we are dedicated to building and sustaining a positive dialogue with our neighbours: informing, involving, consulting and reporting back to them.
Where we can, we attend the monthly Parish Council meetings at Castle Donington, Diseworth, Kegworth and Melbourne.
We distribute Airport News, a monthly e-newsletter to our neighbouring parishes. This includes business news from across the airport, ensuring that these parishes are up to date with the latest developments. If your parish would like to be added to the mailing list, please contact us.
Meet the team
Community Outreach events are part of the airport’s commitment to engage with the local community. They allow local residents to drop in and meet airport colleagues, ask any questions or voice any concerns.
Whether you want to know more about the airport’s work on reducing noise impact, which bus routes serve the airport or how to apply to the Community Fund, the Sustainability team will be on hand to help.
The 2011 programme of Outreach events has now come to an end. Dates for 2012 will be posted on the website soon.
Stay up to date with the Community Flyer
Community Flyer is our newsletter, distributed to over 46,000 homes in the area surrounding the airport. It provides the latest information on our community, environmental and business initiatives and is designed to keep everyone informed of what’s happening at the airport.

Independent Consultative Committee
The Independent Consultative Committee (ICC) is the formal body in charge of liaison between East Midlands Airport and our neighbouring communities.
It operates according to Government guidelines and representatives from local authorities, amenity and user groups meet on a quarterly basis.
According to the Liaison Group of UK Airport Consultative Committees, an ICC “seeks to hold the precarious balance between the interests of civil aviation, of passengers and other users of the airport and of people living in the area, and of the local environment”.

OnSite Network
The East Midlands Airport OnSite Network was set up in April 2010 to encourage networking between the many companies that are based on the site. The airport is a community in its own right and the network is aimed at bringing that community together.
The network meets quarterly and gives us the opportunity to share best practice and ideas, and where possible pool resources for a greater outcome.
For more information about the OnSite Network please get in touch.
