Airport managers expect about 14,500 people to use the airport on Monday

About 55,000 passengers are expected to travel through East Midlands Airport over the Easter weekend.
The busiest day is set to be Easter Monday with 14,500 people predicted to use the Castle Donnington airport.
Popular destinations for passengers include Tenerife, Portugal and the Spanish resorts of Malaga and Alicante.
Managing director Penny Coates said the figures showed people were still looking to travel abroad despite the current recession.
On the roads, the Highways Agency has confirmed that roadworks at Nottinghamshire's Ratcliffe-on-Soar and Newark have been lifted to make the Easter getaway easier on motorists.
Improvements in Borrowash and Chesterfield in Derbyshire have also been suspended until Tuesday.
