Anniversary year has celebrated EMA success now as well as the past

Steve Griffiths, managing director of East Midlands Airport, looks back at an anniversary year marked by events, improvements and ambitious plans for growth
-
2025 was always going to be a significant year for East Midlands Airport, our 60th year operating as a commercial airport - but it has risen beyond celebrating past successes.
We have certainly enjoyed marking the occasion in a number of ways - from various events bringing civic leaders, business leaders and local communities together, along with a Red Arrow flypast, photo exhibition, upgrades to the Airport Trail, plaque unveiling and children's art competition among many others.
It has been an opportunity to reflect on what makes the airport such a special place and of course, it's the people. Those who work here now and those who were here for the previous six decades have all brought passion and a drive to improve the airport.
And that drive to improve has really been a hallmark of our anniversary year at the airport.
