Not so fast on this one. I used the route in the couple of years when Flybe operated it, was convenient for me but seemingly few others. And at that time BMI operated into Belfast International.
I recall one trip in a 146 with about 20 on board, and others with the Dash8 where pax numbers were down to single figures. Flybe had a range of Dash8 types at Belfast then, it was always the smallest one that operated to London City.
That said, Heathrow has become more tedious and timewasting to get through, while LCY has retained its quickness, so there should be some advantage. And surely the politicians notice the low-level aircraft turning finals for LCY 10 right overhead the House of Commons terrace !
Can someone post a link to the detail of the new CityJet operation.
