Ukrainian refugees arriving at East Midlands Airport will be warmly welcomed on board our skylink and my15 buses for free onward travel to their next destinations.

All the refugees – individuals or families – need to do is show our driver a Ukrainian passport or identity document to be helped on the next leg of their journey to safety.

Buses will take them to Ilkeston, Long Eaton & Nottingham, or any other stops on the routes. Our sister bus firm Kinchbus will also take them to Derby & Leicester.

Jeff Counsell, managing director, said: “Refugees from Ukraine will already have been on a long and complex journey with all the stress and worry involved in leaving their country at a time of war.

“We’ll be at East Midlands Airport to make the next leg of those journeys that little bit easier and welcoming. It’s a small gesture but one that is very heartfelt.”

For any of the refugees’ relatives, friends or sponsors in the East Midlands, details of the services can be found at: trentbarton.co.uk/getting-to/airport
