London City records busiest ever week
London City airport recorded its busiest ever week last week, with 27 per cent more passengers than during the same period in 2013.
The airport, which has the highest proportion of business travellers in the UK, saw 84,758 passengers pass through it during the week beginning November 9.
That number was a 5.5 per cent increase on LCY's previous traffic record set in July last year.
More than 60 per cent of passengers who use the London airport do so for business.
Declan Collier, chief executive at LCY, said: "The signs are very encouraging. Employers are growing in confidence, releasing travel budgets, and airlines are growing in confidence, adding new routes and increasing frequencies to offer customers more choice.
"Just last month, Flybe launched services out of London City, boosting connectivity to the UK regions in a move that was welcomed by the government and illustrating the increasing appetite for airlines to pursue business travellers.
"Meanwhile, our largest airline partner British Airways is continuing to fill its planes with more and more passengers and expanding its offering to meet demand."
Collier also called for officials to allow the airport to grow.
He said: "Our current infrastructure is constrained and with demand continuing to increase, we must develop that infrastructure to continue to offer the convenience, speed and customer experience that we pride ourselves on and for which people choose to travel from LCY."
Last month, Flybe launched six new routes from London City (see news, October 27).
