Danish carrier Sun-Air has resumed its route from London City airport to the town of Billund in Denmark, the home of Lego.
The six-times-weekly service will be operated by 32-seat Dornier 328 aircraft, under a franchise agreement with British Airways. The schedule includes both morning and evening flights.
This means that BA Executive Club members will be able to earn tier points and Avios when travelling on the route.
Billund is home to Lego’s worldwide headquarters as well as Legoland Billund Resort.
To celebrate the route resumption, Business Traveller is offering readers the chance to win a pair of return tickets on the route.
London City airport’s aviation director, Anne Doyere, said:
“Brick by brick we’ve built back our network and we’re delighted to welcome back Sun-Air and connections to and from Billund.
“Thanks to our excellent operational performance and consistent speed and convenience, we have enjoyed a strong summer and many new passengers have had the opportunity to experience the exceptional and unique level of customer proposition that we provide at London City.
“Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the rest of the year, particularly with many of our key corporates indicating a desire to not only travel again, but travel from an airport they can rely on.”
London City Airport added that British Airways will be adding extra capacity on core business routes. Edinburgh will increase from 30 weekly rotations in August to 46 in September, and Dublin will go from 23 in August to 36 this month.
Meanwhile, Swiss and Lufthansa will offer 38 flights per week to Zurich and 36 to Frankfurt from September onwards.
London City Airport has welcomed 1.8 million passengers for the year to date and says it is on track to reach three million by the end of the year.
