Eastern plans London City – Amsterdam flights
31.10.08
Eastern Airways is to launch shuttle services between London City Airport and Amsterdam from next January. The airline will operate up to eight flights a day, including three in the morning peak and four in the evening peak.
The route launch has been made possible with the release of four sets of slots at the two airports by Air France-KLM, which has had its acquisition of VLM waved through by the Office of Fair Trading without reference to the Competition Commission. Air France, KLM and VLM are strong at London City and the OFT required the group to hand over slots to a new airline to ensure there would still be competition on the popular route.
The first Eastern flight is set to leave City at 06:50, almost an hour earlier than the earliest KLM flight, and the last return from Schiphol would be at 20:25, over an hour after the last KLM flight.
