East Midlands Airport

East Midlands Airport (EMA) is two businesses in one: a modest low-cost passenger airport by day, but home to the UK’s largest dedicated air cargo operation at night.

Served by airlines Ryanair, Jet2, TUI, Aurigny and Aer Lingus, its passenger operation caters well for travellers who want a quick and easy escape to popular domestic and overseas leisure destinations in mainland Europe, Eastern Europe and Northeast Africa.

In the last 12 months, the volume of goods handled at EMA has increased by almost 30% compared with the previous year, while December 2020 was the airport’s heaviest ever month on record.

East Midlands Airport handles over 4.6 million passengers per year and is the UK’s number one pure freight airport.

The Role

We are currently looking for someone to join our air traffic department. The successful applicant should preferably hold Aerodrome and Approach Radar ratings in the UK and a valid EU Class 3 medical certificate.

We operate 24/7 365 and can offer the successful candidate a challenging and rewarding working environment. We have a mix of IFR and VFR traffic including trainers and CTR/CTA transits. EMA also operates as a LARS unit. We have excellent facilities and operate with an Electronic Flight Strip system and have a radar and 3D modelled tower simulator.

As well as very competitive salary rates, we offer a loss of licence scheme, company pension scheme and, when suitably trained, OJTI payments.

What we Offer

We are an employer of choice and can offer unparalleled career and development opportunities in an exciting and dynamic business.

This is an exciting time to be working in the East Midlands and proposals to build a new economy centred around the region’s strengths in logistics, advanced manufacturing, and R & D are taking shape. In a further boost, a joint bid by MAG, neighbouring landowners, local authorities and LEPs for an East Midlands Freeport was recently given the green light by Government. Key to its success was EMA’s status as a gateway for global trade. Once established, the Freeport will grow trade, create 60,000 jobs and attract investment across the region. Areas given Freeport status will benefit from a wide package of tax reliefs, simplified customs procedures, streamlined planning processes to boost redevelopment, and government support to promote regeneration and innovation.

Join EMA today, and you’ll not only play a major role in helping the airport recover from, and build upon, the impact of the pandemic, but you’ll also help shape thinking around the future direction of the East Midlands economy.

This role will close once we have received sufficient applications
