That's very interesting Skipness! Was it anything to do with anti-airport activity?

First big test of the new arrivals information this evening, with most inbounds diverted or cancelled due to the fog, and of course a knock-on to the outbounds.
Alas, just as bad as it used to be. Look up to see what has happened, everything just airbrushed off once it gets past STA.

Hmm, so we will be down to six/seven airlines (depending how you count Sun Air BA). Let's hope that Skywork and BLue Islands have a robust operation - if they would disappear, it would be just British Airways, Cityjet, Lufthansa, Luxair and Swiss.

That's still many more than at many other airports. Fortunately, the viability of LCY will not be affected! Regretably, there are many airports which really are struggling.

This isn't a new route - until now it was operated by CityJet as a wet lease on behalf of AZ. Now AZ have taken it back themselves.

Yeah sad to see the MUC get cancelled. I tried to fly it a couple of times to visit the in-laws at Xmas but each time LH would cancel late in the day and we'd be shifted to LHR, usually with disastrous consequences! My wife did once get to fly on a D328 though, receiving a free upgrade and super-friendly service.
BACF taking it on would be great but don't know if they'd get enough customers with Monarch now joining the fray, unless BA cull some frequencies at LHR...

Interesting how in the five years I have been a local, British Airways have tightened their grip on LCY. The move from a group of independent and partner airlines offering props to European cities has passed through a phase of Euro flag carriers moving in, and back out again.
For the record, Lufthansa have tried and failed on LCY-HAM / DUS / STR / MUC / TXL leaving only LCY-FRA. Thought MUC would have stayed with the four daily ERJ-190 offering a good product.
