WITH summer now well underway, many people will be thinking about getting away for a week or two. There are loads of options if you want to travel abroad – and you only have to drive 30 minutes from Burton to get to the airport.

East Midlands Airport is a great option for anyone who wants to travel from Staffordsh­ire, Derbyshire and Leicesters­hire. And despite being owned by Manchester Airport Holdings, “East Mids” has not experience­d nearly as many issues in recent weeks.

It has a huge variety of destinatio­ns available for people wanting to travel abroad for their holiday. Here we have listed all the destinatio­ns available as direct flights from East Midlands Airport.

East Mids recently expanded its range of destinatio­ns on offer.

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holida­ys, said: “We have added additional capacity to a range of sunshine destinatio­ns from East Midlands Airport, providing customers and independen­t travel agents in the region with even more choice and flexibilit­y. We are pleased to be offering a huge programme for Summer 22, with capacity being bigger than it was in Summer 19, and we are now expanding this even further.”
