London City Airport has released a new two-minute animation which offers a glimpse of the future passenger experience.
The video follows a record-breaking day for the airport on Monday, June 17, with 20,300 passengers either arriving into, or departing from, London City Airport.
The video ?fly-through?, created by the visualisation team at design and engineering consultancy Atkins, conveys what the passenger experience will be like at London City Airport following a ?500 million transformation, with major new facilities coming by 2022.
The computer-generated animation shows the airport journey of two pairs of passengers ? a departing leisure couple and arriving business travellers ? reflecting the airport?s evolving customer base. During the animation, the passengers experience the new check-in area, security, departures lounge, baggage claim, dedicated arrivals area and gate lounges, with stunning views of the airport ? inside and out. The fly-through also depicts London landmarks of the future, including 22 Bishopsgate in the City of London and Newfoundland tower in Canary Wharf.
The new terminal will provide more space, better facilities, smart airport experiences, and greater choice of shops, caf?s, bars and restaurants.
Peter Adams, chief development officer for the airport, said: ?We are building a new and impressive gateway for London in the heart of the Royal Docks, on the doorstep of the city and fast-changing East London boroughs.
?This new animation brings to life for the first time what customers can expect - be they international visitors to London, leisure city breakers or business travellers. London City Airport will offer an amazing modern airport experience while retaining the speed and efficiency that we know our passengers love.?
Steve Tasker, aviation market director at Atkins, said: ?We?ve worked alongside London City Airport for over 15 years and continue to be inspired by its ambition and steadfast focus on passenger and airline experience, The airport?s new terminal extension ? which is captured beautifully by the animation - marks the latest chapter in a genuine success story for London and the aviation industry.?
