Donington Hall had been the home of BMI for 30 years. Its low-cost airline, BMI Baby, was based in Hastings House.
BMI’s operations have since been merged with BA. Donington Hall closed for good in December last year.
As a result of the deal, Norton Motorcycles will leave its current factory at Donington Park.
Chief executive Stuart Garner said that all production and design work would be moved to Hastings House.
