Traffic warning this weekend
11.06.09
Passengers using East Midlands Airport this weekend have been warned to allow extra time for their journeys, as the Download Festival will take place at neighbouring Donington Park. Around 70,000 people are expected to attend the music event, which runs from Friday to Sunday.
The Donington Park venue is next to East Midlands Airport and those flying in and out of the hub have been told to expect heavy traffic throughout the weekend. Diversions will be in place on Monday, which is expected to be particularly busy as people leave the festival site.
Kelly McHugh, transport manager for East Midlands Airport, said: ‘We always recommend that customers check in at least two hours before their flight. With the extra cars on local roads this weekend, we are advising people to allow more time in planning their journey to and from the airport.’
