Luxair reconnects Antwerp Airport (Belgium) with London City - Aviation24.be
Bit of a thin schedule, only a few days a week, but possibly those times were the key ones in the old days when VLM/Cityjet/Air Antwerp (some shared ownership between them all behind the scenes I believe) did the route, which was held down for years. There was a long tradition that the diamond trade profession, centred for Europe in London and Antwerp (and the traders themselves living in a tight knot around Stoke Newington, not far from LCY), were who kept things going. There is of course no service from LCY to Brussels.
I wonder how Luxair are doing on LCY to Luxembourg, after the arrival of BA on the route. Most of the demand is from the Luxembourg end, and BA don't actively promote connections through LCY, so I would have thought Luxair could see them off.
BA have dropped LUX from LCY (ends 30th Oct after just 5 months). Luxair seem to do well. Up to 6 daily so it seems to be going ok.
