Record times for London City Airport

More than 5m passengers travelled through London City Airport (LCY) last year, making it the busiest 12 months in the history of the facility. The total of 5,100,025 was a year-on-year increase of 6.3%.

Chief commercial officer Richard Hill said: “Last year was a very successful one generally, with increased demand from passengers and airlines, the launch of new routes and expansion of others, and continued high scores for passenger satisfaction.

“It demonstrates that the combination of speed, convenience, excellent customer service and connectivity to and from the heart of London continues to be a recipe for success.”

Hill noted the airport was responding by investing half a billion pounds in a transformative development programme to increase capacity and improve facilities for passengers and airlines.

“With progress on so many fronts, and new routes to San Sebastián and Dundee already announced, 2020 is shaping up to be another successful year for us,” Hill added.
