LONDON CITY AIRPORT is to have competition to and from Amsterdam. Currently the route is served by KLM with a five times weekdaily operation using F50 turboprops. VLM, who already serve Rotterdam, is to come in with a three times daily service with the same aircraft type, but only Monday to Friday. The new flights begin Monday 4 April and at the same time VLM will step up Rotterdam to ten return service and Luxembourg to four, weekdays. The airline points out that with the simple runway operation (once an aircraft moves it is ”live” on the former dock that constitutes the landing strip) London City continues to set the highest standard of punctually of any airport in the UK (and probably Europe).
