East Midlands Airport targets 2% growth
20.02.11
East Midlands Airport is aiming to return to growth over the next year, managing director Brad Miller has told Insider. Following a ‘challenging’ 12 months, during which the airport battled the Icelandic ash cloud, a bomb scare and extreme December weather conditions, Mr Miller said the airport is ‘looking ahead’ to a year in which he aims to increase passenger numbers by up to 2 percent.
Mr Miller, who took up the post of managing director in October last year, said the 'flailing economy' and the Government’s spending review has aversely affected trade, but that he intends to return to growth by putting some 'romance' back in to flying, making sure passengers feel 'special'.
The airport was planning to increase the number of flights and destinations it offers passengers throughout the busy summer period. He said: ‘Jet2 will increase the number of flights it offers and will begin flying to Ibiza in the summer.'
