Travel to work
Travel to Work survey 2010
The Travel to Work survey takes place every year to monitor staff travel patterns and behaviour. This data provides valuable information and enables the airport to make improvements to the public transport network and roads surrounding the airport site.
Please complete our online survey if you work at one of the businesses on the airport site and you have not already completed the survey this year. The survey takes no more than 3 minutes to complete and you can enter the prize draw to win a £500 bike plus more great prizes!

Green transport options available for staff
At East Midlands Airport there are many ways in which you can help the environment and get to work safely and more economically.
The Airport has excellent public transport links to the three cities, and safe walking and cycle path access points to nearby, surrounding villages.
Skylink bus services
The Skylink network serves Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, Loughborough, Coalville and many of the villages on route. Each service provides discounted travel for employees which can be arranged and purchased through the bus operator.

Car Sharing
Car sharing on your journeys to and from East Midlands Airport has many benefits – social, environmental and financial – and you don’t need to do it every day to make a difference.
As well as saving money, reducing wear and tear on your car, freeing up parking spaces and cutting congestion, you may even forge some new friendships along the way.
Simply register and complete the details of your journey and add whether you’re offering or seeking a lift. The Liftshare website will search for appropriate matches, instantly finding potential drivers and passengers.
Car sharing to East Midlands Airport makes real sense:
- It’s free to use – simply share travel costs saving you money.
- It reduces congestion and pollution on our region’s roads.
- It cuts your carbon emissions every time you leave the car at home.
- If everyone just car shared once a week, it would generate a 20% reduction in the number of cars on the roads, the majority of which would be at peak travel times.
