French media reporting that Angers airport is calling it a day with regards to flights by passenger airlines. The summer seasonal route to London City (as well as routes to Nice and Toulouse) will seemingly not return later this year. A formal meeting will be held on 16 January about this, but seems more likely that cash needed to keep Angers ATC resourced for commercial passenger flights will not be available in budget. Between 2011 and 2015, Angers saw less than 9,000 pax per year - it's in mainland France, not an offshore island and an hour's drive from Nantes
Update - closure of Angers to scheduled traffic has been confirmed so unless there's some great surprise, the summer seasonal route between London City and Angers will not be returning in 2017
