East Midlands Airport in the UK has revamped its aircraft stand spaces to enhance capacity for cargo and passenger operations, aiming for future growth. New markings on the east and west aprons have doubled the capacity for wide-bodied cargo aircraft to seven, while four additional stands for passenger aircraft will be created on the central apron. This redesign supports the airport’s strategy to accommodate rising cargo demand and attract more passenger flights, including new services from SunExpress to Turkey next summer. The redesign involved complex planning and collaboration among various airport teams to ensure safety and efficiency.
