During June and July, London City served 640,000 passengers, with more than 300,000 expected to travel in August. And with "some remaining capacity" on several routes, the airport believes it could near the one million mark for the key summer months.
London City said it had remained fully staffed since the start of the summer getaway, and only experienced "small changes" to its schedule owing to the government’s slot amnesty.
"London City’s operation has been largely unaffected through August and airlines have some remaining capacity on key domestic and short haul European routes," it said on Wednesday (3 August).
