East Midlands Airport to cancel full goods capabilities
EAST MIDLANDS (EMA) has unveiled an ambitious, ambitious strategy that aims to enhance its role as a major position in the United Kingdom. The bold new vision, which was announced at the UKEIID Investment and Investment Forum (UKREIIF) in Leeds, determines proposals for the development of four main sites at airports to meet an increase of 54 percent in the demand for goods by 2043.
The plans can support up to 21,300 new jobs and inject 3.9 billion pounds in the UK economy, according to expert analysis. The airport, which is already the best performance in the country to charge Express, puts itself to get a large share of the increasing demand for fast and reliable charge. A recent study assigned by EMA from York Aviation and MDS Transmodal Consultants from 370,000 tons in 2023 to 583,000 tons in 2043.
It was revealed to an audience of 16,000 property, investment and policy leaders in OKREIIIF, and the airport development plan targets more than 50 hectares of land through four main plots at the airport. Three of these sites will benefit from direct access to the runway, which has become possible by new taxi corridors and an apron area of up to 18 additional aircraft.
The proposal includes:
• 122,000 square meters of new warehouse facilities
• 51000 square meters of Landside Square
• 1000 places to park
Two conspiracies are also located within the designated Freeport tax sites, which is part of the East Midlands Freeport, which works as an EMA as a port. This condition provides companies with tax incentives and simplified customs operations – the advantages of logistics and trade operators.
The strategic location of the airport and infrastructure gives it a unique feature. With 85 percent of the UK population can be reached within a four -hour truck campaign, near 81 percent of widespread storage, EMA is perfectly placed for growth. Unlike many UK airports, it operates around the clock throughout the week with lower restrictions on night flights and there is no competition from passenger openings, allowing them to give priority for allocated shipping operations.
Steve Griffiths, Managing Director of East Midlands Airport, shed light on the opportunity:
“EMA is already the biological spine of the UK Rapid Value Charging Network, supported high -value industries and advanced manufacturing. With this new vision, we aim to enhance our infrastructure to meet the growing demand and push regional and national growth.
We remain with an open mind about how to develop four sites and welcome investment ideas that can open their potential. Our ambition is to build a ready -made charging center in the future that creates thousands of jobs and enhances the UK position in world trade. “
The proposed development is part of a broader national strategy to tackle the ability of unpleasant goods and support economic flexibility. With pass passenger planes not needed to carry charging, charging that was built in EMA is faster and more efficient with global markets.
The airport growth strategy is expected to support 12,600 new jobs and 1.8 billion pounds in the total added value (GVA) by 2030, and rose to 21,300 jobs and 3.9 billion pounds by 2043.
The mayor, East Midlands Claire Ward, said: “East Midlands Airport connects our region to the world, and we need to achieve maximum benefit from these ties to develop the economy in a way that descends here – strengthening our business and gathering people together,” said the mayor, East Midlands Claire Ward.
“The expansion of EMA charging is compatible with this goal and is a change of games not only for us, but for the United Kingdom. With up to 1.8 billion pounds in additional GVA and 12,600 new jobs by 2030-and greater gains by 2043-this is an important opportunity at the national level to meet the increasing demand for air freight services, our role in global trade, and the manufacture of thousands of quality jobs.”
