No. Because the fact is that London City is full. There are new stands but the runway is at 100% capacity at peak times. No new slots are available, and holding/vectoring inbound has climbed towards Heathrow amounts.

And as years of experience have shown, if you don't operate a route IN to London City between 0800-0900, and OUT between 1730-1900, you never get anywhere with it. Many operators and routes have proved this. You can have multiple flights on a route, but if you can't offer anything at those peak times it just doesn't work commercially.
