The Aerozone is East Midlands Airport’s inspirational education centre. Offering both pre-developed and bespoke opportunities for students of all ages, you get to learn about how an airport works, whilst experiencing the sights and sounds of this interesting workplace.
From check-in to security, to marketing and environmental work, there are many different roles available, requiring a vast range of skills.
Aerozone offers opportunities for groups from school classes, to extra-curricular groups and community groups. Developed with support from East Midlands Development Agency, through the Catapulting Kids further! scheme.

Additionally, laptops and printers are available for interactive and inspiring sessions.
