The airport is undergoing significant changes including new technology installation, as part of a major investment programme.

East Midlands Airport handled more than 103,000 tonnes of cargo between May to July, up 17.4% on the same period in 2024.

Between May and October this year, cargo volumes at East Midlands Airport reached nearly 240,000 tonnes.

The airport has secured new cargo deals with YunExpress, Central Airlines and Atlas Air.

Developments could meet an estimated 54% growth in demand for express air freight.

The 19,000 sq. ft facility enhances safety, speeds up freight handling, and strengthens FedEx’s UK network.

This enables YunExpress to establish an integrated plane-to-door logistics capability in the country, targeting demand from cross-border e-commerce flows.

Chinese cargo carrier SF Express has landed at East Midlands Airport (EMA), making it the sixth new cargo operator in six months.

The aim is to handle more cargo flights at night and more passenger flights during the day as demand rises.

The Hong Kong–EMA route will run four times a week, carrying e-commerce and electronics with nationwide UK distribution.

Swissport moved into its new facility in April, just ahead of the new airlines beginning to operate frequent China-UK routes via the East Midlands.
