Eastern plan Amsterdam flights
31.10.08
Eastern Airways is to launch a shuttle service between London City Airport and Amsterdam from next January. The airline will operate up to 8 flights a day, including 3 in the morning peak and 4 in the evening peak.
The route launch has been made possible with the release of 4 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 route.
The first Eastern flight is set to leave London 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.
