Chance to rename EMA

[U/S President]

It’s been discussed on PPRuNe numerous times before (e.g. here), but now the airport themselves are taking suggestions from the public for a new name:

Vote here

We all know the issues: IATA designate it as Nottingham, but it’s in Leicestershire, but it’s got a Derby postcode and telephone number.

Vote now and have your say.

Sorry for being picky but that has been up on the web site for about 3 months. Sorry but good post all the same.

Leave it East Midlands Airport.

Add Derby if you like. No Way Nottingham

I spit on the red dogs

Never ever ever Snottingham

[Simonjb]

Nottingham for me!!!.

Home of the twice European Cup Winners.

I voted for David Morton International

[Navy_Adversary]

If the airport name is to be changed, and incidentally I do not think it should be.
Then it has to be called Martin Johnson International, he is now known the WORLD over

[Engineer]

Donny International Airport

[B.L.G Bob]

Melbourne, Kegworth, Diseworth. If there not good enough
why not Gotham International, it is east of Kegworth.

[LGS6753]

Nowhere International would almost guarantee FR flights to virtually everywhere!

Name it after East Midlands most famous person

Sir Isacc Newton

[EMACargo]

What about Sir Frank Whittle International?????

Up the pants Rams. Yes i know we suck

[Resdogs902]

I seem to remember some time ago that EMA had a promotional shoot with a number of celebs to promote the area of 'East Midlands' to the business world. I believe this took place at the airport near the hangars??
If that was deemed a failure I would rather see the name as Derby International Airport - afterall it's links with the aviation industry are well known worldwide.
As for Nottingham - very popular city with a folk hero who dresses in tights... & Leicester, well I think that's just geographical!

If Ryanair get in there it will be called

London Derby
London Nottingham
or
London Leicester

I think the latter has the better ring about it, what do you think?

It ain't over til the fat baby sings

I think the show is over Gentlemen.
