There will be nine closures over the next three months
East Midlands Airport is carrying out a series of scheduled closures to make upgrades to its runway, taxiways and other parts of the airfield to ensure the ongoing safety and effectiveness of its passenger and cargo operations.
The runway, taxiway and aircraft stands handle around 200 passenger and cargo flights a day, which take a toll on the wear and tear of the airfield. Essential maintenance routinely takes place on an annual basis and is normally conducted overnight to minimise disruption. The first of the closures happened last week on December 4, when there was also some electrical work which required the closure of the terminal. That work is complete but further work will be carried out on the runway, taxiways and aprons’ where aircraft stand on December 11 and 18, January 8, 15, 22, and 29, as well as February 5 and 12. The closures will take place between 10am and 6pm.
• Hydrant system and drainage upgrades - enhancements to improve operational efficiency and water management, to improve the control of run-off from airfield surfaces
