Not totally surprising:
Now Norwegians can also fly direct to the heart of London. SAS Braathens is to launch a new route to London City Airport.
London City Airport is situated only ten kilometers from the City of London, which is one of Europe's leading financial centers. Many banks, stock-broking firms and law firms have their headquarters here. "Many of our London passengers are business travelers with high demands for an efficient and convenient journey. We are dedicated to fulfilling these needs and are therefore launching this route to London City," says Johnny Skoglund, Vice President at SAS Braathens.
There will be two daily departures between Oslo Gardermoen and London City, commencing on August 28. SAS Braathens already operates up to five daily departures between Oslo Gardermoen and London Heathrow....
Scandinavian Airlines Sverige and Scandinavian Airlines Danmark have experienced tremendous success with their flights to London City from Stockholm and Copenhagen. Now this attractive destination is also available to SAS Braathens passengers.
The route will be operated by Transwede.
Another RJ70 route operated by Transwede. They will have at least 4 RJ70s allocated to LCY ops by the end of the summer.
I am not sure if Oslo has come about because the planned flights to Genoa and Torino on behalf of Air One appear to have been cancelled for good and will not be started for the time being.
The most obviously missing routes now are Helsinki and Vienna. Wonder if BA Cityflyer will move in on those two.
