East Midlands Airport has warned passengers taking flights this summer to be aware of forthcoming events at neighbouring Donington Park that could affect their journey times to and from the airport. People either heading for or leaving the airport face delays and being rerouted as Donington hosts a number of motorsport competitions throughout the summer.
Traffic management systems and temporary traffic lights are often put in place around the airport, on the A453 approach roads and near to Donington Park itself when major events take place at the motorsport track.
Key event dates over the summer are as follows:
British F3 and British GT Championships: April 21 and 22
Grand Prix Events EuroSeries: May 6 and 7
