Passengers using East Midlands Airport this weekend have been warned to allow extra time for their journey, as the Download Festival will take place at neighbouring Donington Park. 70,000 people are expected to attend the music event, which runs from Friday until Sunday.
The Donington Park venue is next to East Midlands Airport and those using the hub this weekend have been told to expect heavy traffic. Diversions will be in place on Monday, which is expected to be busy as people leave the festival site (many will camp on site).
Kelly McHugh, transport manager at East Midlands Airport, said: ‘We recommend that customers check in at least 2 hours before their flight. With the extra cars on local roads this weekend, people need to allow more time for their journey to and from the airport.’
