As a major employer in the region, we are committed to supporting our local community as part of the way we do business.
East Midlands Airport is committed to supporting our local community by investing in our colleagues. Together we can make a big difference to the lives of local people. This is why we encourage all our colleagues to take part in community volunteering opportunities and we allow them to take some time out of their working day to do so.
Volunteering is beneficial to both our business and the community, with community members seeing support for their project, and colleagues feeling motivated and engaged.
If you have a project that needs support please contact us: community@eastmidlandsairport.com.
Thank you to everyone who took part in our 2024 Community Impact Survey.
Your feedback helps shape our Community Strategy and ensures our programmes and projects continue to support the local community.
The survey captures views from a broad range of local stakeholders, including people we’ve worked with and those we haven’t. This helps us understand the issues affecting the area and identify where the airport’s support can make the most difference.

Your feedback helps shape our work – have your say
Listening to our local community is a key part of our Local Voices commitments within the ‘MAG Sustainability Strategy 2025 – Creating a Sustainable Future for all'.
We run a Community Survey every other year to understand local priorities and guide our next steps. Feedback from the 2024 survey has already helped focus our work.
Since then, we’ve taken action by continuing to invest in our Community Fund, expanding our volunteering programme, and delivering actions under our Noise Action Plan.
To keep this conversation going, we ran another Community Survey this year. It was open for six weeks and closed on Monday, 1 June 2026. Thank you for taking part. The results will be published on this page later this year.
East Midlands Airport is aware of the issue of fly-parking in our local villages, and in particular the parking or waiting of taxis. Whilst this is not illegal, we recognise that this is a nuisance for our neighbours.
You can report incidents of fly-parking by taxis in the local area by emailing community@eastmidlandsairport.com. Please provide the registration number of the taxi, the name of the taxi company and which licencing authority it belongs to, as well as where it was parked and on what date. Without this information, we cannot take any action.
If sufficient information is provided, we will follow these incidents up by contacting the taxi company directly or writing to the relevant licensing authorities. We will issue a letter to the taxi company directly or through their licencing authority, requesting that they use our free one-hour parking facility.
