London City Airport targets Irish passenger growth

The chief executive of London City Airport (LCY) is targeting further in-bound passenger growth from Dublin. He wants renewed services between the airport and regional Irish bases, including Cork.

Addressing media in Dublin, yesterday, chiefly about LCY’s expansion plans, Declan Collier said passenger throughput from Dublin is growing, with 70 flights a week linking the two airports.

Dublin is the third most popular route — behind Edinburgh and Amsterdam — to London City and he said Dublin could further challenge those destinations.
