More space to lounge at London City Airport

2008-04-22

We’d all rather be on the plane than waiting in departures - but London City Airport is soothing some of the pain by promising an enhanced pre-flight experience.

From May onwards the airport's departure lounge will offer:

Free Wi-Fi access for all passengers

250 new seats
High speed internet access points
Live sports screens
More retail outlets including WH Smith and Nuance

A new concept bar will be open from the end of May.

The new developments are part of ongoing work by the airport to improve the service offered to passengers who pass through - many of whom are frequent business flyers.

Chief Executive Richard Gooding said: “Frequent fliers demand a premier service and our proven record of transferring passengers to their destinations with ease and speed has ensured their continued loyalty."

“London City Airport has grown in leaps and bounds since its opening in 1987 and the future is even more encouraging as more and more passengers travel from our East London hub.”
