Past Operators and Destinations at LCY
I'm interested in past operators and destinations at London City Airport.
I know of a few but curious as to other operators and where they flew and when. Any information would be appreciated!
Aer Lingus - Operated BAe146 - Just to Dublin?
Air Southwest - Newquay via Plymouth with DCH8
SAS - Copenhagen with Q400, ARN and OSL with RJ aircraft (leased)
Announced but never started:
Estonian - Tallinn with E170

On 30th April 1993 I flew London City to Berlin Tempelhof and back (5th May) with a little German airline called Conti-flug who operated a BAe146-200 D-ACFA

A few years back I flew out on a Augsburg Airways Dash-8 (short version) to Frankfurt.
Worthy of mention an interesting visitor to land at the airport in 2006 was a British Eagle / Air Atlantique DC6. At the time it was said to be the largest aircraft to have landed at LCY but I’m not sure if this has now been superceeded by the new E-jets ?

I flew with my father from LCY to DUB on the 27th July 1995 on VS3303 BAe.146-200 EI-JET.
We returned on the 24th August 1995 on VS3308 again in EI-JET.

EuroManx (RJ85, Dash8/300)
Aer Arran (ATR42/72)
VLM (F50)
British Airways Cityflyer (Eastern Saab 2000, BACF E170/190)
(E&OE but I've flown on them all!)

When LCY first opened Brymon were operating something like 5 CDG rotations daily, London City Airways (Airlines of Britain Group) were there also, not for so long before Loganair acquired their DHC7's.
Business Air, these days kinown as BMIr, had a BAe146 on sub for Lufty, I think it was operating a FRA route to/from LCY.

There was a very short lived operation (2 months or so) in the 90's I think,that used a Do228 from somewhere up the Northeast of England. Memory might be playing tricks but I think they flew in the FIR and called for a join of controlled airspace at Barkway just North of Stansted. Can't remember their name!

If not, it's one more to add to the list of former LCY airlines, anyway.

Back in 2006 there was a short lived service operated by Wight Airlines..Sandown Isle of Wight to LCY. Three round trips a day using Navajo G-BBNT.
They did a 75 quid day return special, so had to have a go, splendid never been from the IOW to central London so fast, approx. 30 mins, (plus cheaper than a peak time train fare to Waterloo).
Alas only lasted a few months, back to the boat & train!
