If you live close to East Midlands Airport then you'll probably be used to the frequent sight of planes jetting off from the airport. However, there has been a strange change in some of the flight patterns recently, which has been noticed even by those who no longer are tempted to shriek in delight at a low flying aircraft.
East Midlands Airport, or EMA for short is a busy airport. It hosts airlines including TUI, Jet2 and Ryanair, and according to the Civil Aviation Authority , had more than 830,000 passengers pass through its doors in 2021 - that's despite the pandemic restrictions.
Cadets must undertake several take off and landing attempts prior to getting their wings, and as a result can often be seen looping around the airport as part of their training. Repeat landing and take-offs are considered a routine part of a pilot's training. The flights can be as short as 20 minutes to nearly two hours, in some cases. The plane used is a Boeing 737-73S aircraft, whereas the company usually uses Boeing 737-800 planes on its passenger routes.
