LONDON CITY - 2

[pabely]

Is there such a great market for a business class between London and Moscow it can do better than a second daily NYC?

Looking at the amount of VVIP traffic which goes between Moscow & Luton & Farnborough I would say yes!

[BA318]

Some interesting destinations are being suggested including Doha (the need for refuelling is probably a problem) - although could work with the new agreement between QR and BA.


Boston has also been mentioned. Someone on another forum who claimed to have knowledge said the new destination was a shock so we'll see!

[BA318]

Flybe have announced they are continuing with the Cardiff service from 1st Nov.


Cardiff Airport's Flybe London flights to continue - BBC News

[Trash 'n' Navs]

Terminal has been evacuated due to toxic smell. Airport not accepting any aircraft.

[BA318]

Apparently some passengers reported feeling unwell. Some reports say the gas which leaked is related to the building works.

[Barling Magna]

Diversions to both STN and SEN. All stands occupied at SEN for once as a result.

All clear at LCY from 1900 hours.

Odyssey Airlines

Just out of interest, has anybody heard anything further about Odyssey Airlines start up at LCY? Haven't seen any updates in a while on the website

[BA318]

KLM are returning to LCY. Up to 4 daily using Embraer E190.

Flights start daily from feb and increase in March.

Poor old Cityjet though :/

So, how many total flights a day then BA/WX/KL LCY/AMS?

5 / 6 / 4 I think?

But yes; poor WX. They didn't need KLM joining BA in the lets bash WX party. There's increasingly little reason for them to... well... exist. The list of destinations they used to serve and that other people still do is immense :-(

[AirLCY]

BA are up to 7 and WX up to 8 some days of the week. I guess KL are planning to pull the codeshare with WX. I wonder if we'll see HOP appear on ORY!

[Skipness One Echo]

KLM gifted LCY-AMS end of summer 2008 when CityJet got much closer to AF/KLM. Moved from a VLM F50 vs KLM F50 to a WX RJ85. Indeed KLM used to a virtual monopoly on ground handling as well with KGS running the show.

A most welcome return.

[tws123]

Just tried to book FLR and NTE with WX after March but no availability. Transferring them to SEN?

[BAladdy]

ORY also not available to book from LCY after late March. Could it be that they have yet to load there complete S17 schedule?

[tws123]

However AMS, ANR, DUB and RTM are all on sale already.

[fjencl]

Does Flybe operate there E175's out of here.

I know they use dash 8, just wondered if they use E175's as well.......

Thanks

The E175 isn't certified for LCY

[WHBM]

The E170 and E190 are certified for LCY whereas the E175 and E195 are not. Reason is the latter derivatives are both just a bit longer behind the main gear, which compromises runway clearance of the rear fuselage as they round out on touchdown from the steep approach.
