Luxair has launched a new service from London City Airport to Antwerp.
The four-times-a-week service will operate on a 78-seat De Havilland Dash DHC-8-Q400 and will increase to five times a week from April. Prices lead in at £45 one way and the first flight departs at 6.40am.
The route restarts as London City is preparing further investments, including the installation of new security scanners on all lanes by April and investing £12 million in upgrading the departures area, offering more restaurants, an expanded Duty-Free, and more seats.
Speaking about the route, and also looking to the future, the airport's director of aviation, Anne Doyere, said: “We have long coveted restarting the Antwerp route and I am delighted that Luxair sees its potential, not least because it will be the only direct connection between these two dynamic, culturally rich, European cities.
"The pandemic eroded some of London’s direct connections to European cities and we believe restarting them will not only be good for passengers, but for business and the economy too.
We are looking forward to working with airlines like Luxair, chambers of commerce and businesses of all sizes to help build the case for more routes to and from London’s fastest, most convenient and reliable airport.”
