CityJet to open London City-Madrid route
CityJet will open a new route from London City Airport to Madrid next week as part of a new partnership with Air France.
Entitled CityJet for Air France, the new service has been described as an "exclusive product" that features check-in times of ten minutes.
People planning on flying to Madrid may find using the London City service more convenient, given the fact that the airport is located in the docklands area of the UK capital.
Etienne Rabou, Air France senior vice president of Europe and north Africa, said that this represents part of a new network originating from the heart of London that can provide travellers with "all the benefits and services the Air France group has to offer".
Geoffrey O'Byrne White, CityJet's chief executive officer, added: "We are pleased to underline our commitment to London City where we have had a presence for many years while simultaneously pursuing our development with our revamped fleet."
He concluded by saying that the CityJet for Air France scheme represents an "important milestone".
CityJet, which operates a fleet of BAe 146 jets, does not have a current service to anywhere in Spain.
