Chief executive Robert Sinclair said a new survey of nearly 5,000 London City airport passengers found "encouraging early passenger demand" and a desire, after months under lockdown, to not only to get away on holiday but to restore business travel links as well.
Just shy of 80% of respondents said they were either very likely (48%) or quite likely to travel when they are told by government, airports and airlines it is safe to do so.
Four in 10 City travellers, meanwhile, said they planned to travel for leisure within the next three months, with business travel achieving the same rate of early renewed interest.
