East Midlands Airport prepares for World Cup
06.06.06
New 42-inch plasma screens have been put in place at East Midlands Airport so that travellers using the airport don't miss any World Cup action. A new stall has also been erected, where fans can pick up merchandise such as England flags, hats and banners.
The airport estimates that around 7,500 people will be passing through the facilites to fly to Germany with easyJet and Ryanair during the month of the World Cup. They, and the other 240,000 passengers using East Midlands, will be able to watch all the latest developments on the new big screens, located in the departure lounge's Three Cities Bar.
Travellers will also have the opportunity to win a plasma TV and other prizes. However, airport managers stressed that those not interested in football would be able to escape to various quiet areas.
