London City Airport tops one million passengers


London City Airport tops one million passengers

Monday, 10 Jun, 2022 0

After two years of sluggish pandemic-hit passenger numbers, London City today announced that it has surpassed the one million milestone.

It is confident of finishing the year close to three million.

This follows a strong May where the airport welcomed 290,000 travellers, representing 65% of 2019 numbers for the same period.

There were also very few cancellations in the month with airlines operating 98% of their schedules and delivering the best on time performance of any London airport.

Amsterdam remained the most popular route but  ahead of the Platinum Jubilee weekend  a number of leisure routes proved popular, including Florence, Ibiza, Nice and Malaga.

For the Jubilee weekend itself, the airport saw a spike of inbound bookings from Edinburgh, Luxembourg, Zurich, as well as from Amsterdam.

The number of summer leisure routes from London City is set to swell in June with nine new destinations being added over the next three weeks.

This includes a brand-new route to Thessaloniki in northern Greece and the return of direct services to Barcelona and Guernsey.

In addition, LCY summer routes to Mahon, Santorini, Split, Quimper and Skiathos will also commence from mid-June

Flights to Jersey will also restart.

The Airport’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert Sinclair, said: “We are not only pleased to see the continued strength of the recovery, but also by the way in which our operation has performed over this period.“

Despite a big increase in flights and passengers along with our airline partners, we have continued to deliver speed, convenience and on time performance.”
