London City Airport to reopen for domestic flights by end of June

A London airport has announced today that it will be resuming flights after two months of closure.

London City Airport, in Newham, suspended its flights in late March due to travel restrictions and lockdown.

The airport said today that it will start accepting passengers from the end of June, initially for domestic flights only.

However, it said that international flights may start up in early July, depending on the potential two-week quarantine of passengers arriving into the country.

Robert Sinclair, chief executive at London City Airport, commented: “When our doors re-open again shortly, our ambition is to provide the best airport experience in the UK to our passengers by ensuring we follow industry guidance to the letter and by maintaining our reputation as the quickest London airport to get to and through.

“It is our hope that by outlining the steps we are taking to make the airport safe, and by incorporating the views of our regular travellers into our plans, we will give people the confidence to fly from our airport to destinations across the UK and Europe.”
