It's not a destination airport on the travel sites.

(I'm visiting Derby soon and will travel through Heathrow, underground to St Pancras, and East Midlands train north.)

It's mostly used by package holiday airlines such as Jet2 and Monarch. The low cost carrier Ryanair serves many European destinations and there are substantial operations by DHL and UPS and other freight operators.
I don't think that there are any long haul scheduled services.
