London City Airport date?

Although no specific date has been given London City Airport has announced a re-opening “from the end of June”, with domestic flights first and international services in early July, dependant on UK quarantine arrangements.

The airport says that since operations were suspended on 25 March, staff have been busy working to prepare the terminal to welcome back passengers and to offer a safe, careful and speedy journey through the airport. Good progress has also been made on the airport’s major development programme with construction following the latest government guidance and focussing on key airside projects including aircraft stands, the parallel taxiway and new immigration and baggage facilities.

A whole range of steps have been taken to provide reassurance to passengers including installing temperature checking technology both on departure and arrival, providing staff with face masks and visors and providing clear instructional signage for every step of the journey.

Passengers will be asked to observe social distancing rules wherever possible in the terminal and the airport will deploy an innovative solution with long-term partners CrowdVision which will enable the detection of areas where there is a high concentration of passengers who can then be directed to quieter areas.
