In Quotes
Tom Stoddart, Managing Director of BA CityFlyer, which will operate the new services, said:
“As customers start to plan their next summer getaway, we wanted to offer new routes to some of the most popular European destinations. Conveniently accessible from London City airport, they are a great addition to our extensive network.”
More options for those who don’t like Heathrow
Psst. I’ll let you in a secret. Not everyone likes to depart from Heathrow Airport. I know this might come as a shock to many, but it is a truth.
For those living in London, Essex or Kent, City Airport offers good connectivity, with a reasonable passenger experience for those who are heading to Europe.
And it’s good to see more options out of London City Airport – which has been impacted over the past two years.
Options like these give you the passenger flexibility to travel – as well as reduced journey times – things that are always welcome when travelling.
