London City Airport received its first commercial flight in nearly three months Sunday as Britain moved another step closer to fully emerging from its coronavirus lockdown on July 4.
The gateway to the once-bustling Canary Warf and City financial districts welcomed a short flight from the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea.
“This clear early demand from our passengers to get back to flying is really encouraging,” airport chief executive Robert Sinclair said. London businesses are also unhappy with the government’s divisive decision to impose 14-day quarantines on most people arriving in Britain. But health officials lowered the alert level to three on a five-point scale on Friday – a signal the government needed to take a more business-friendly approach.
