The revamp of the departure lounge at London City Airport is nearing completion, it has been confirmed.
Airport authorities have said the lounge should be open to the public at the beginning of June, providing 250 more seats for passengers in addition to enhanced terminal facilities.
The refurbishment work centres on a new “airport concept” which aims to modernise the terminal through free internet access points, self-service check-in kiosks and additional shopping facilities.
Richard Gooding, chief executive of the Docklands airport, commented: “The growth the airport has witnessed is largely credited to our convenient location on the doorstep of Canary Wharf and the City of London.
“Frequent flyers demand a premier service and our track record of transferring passengers to their destinations with ease and speed has ensured their continued loyalty.”
