Talks over London flights ongoing

The Departments of Infrastructure and Economic Development are trying to ease concerns about the recent cutbacks in flights to and from London.

BA CityFlyer has recently decided to temporarily reduce its London City service to just one flight per day.

The news came shortly after Flybe announced it would stop its Gatwick route as of next Spring, and had sold its slots to EasyJet.
