A record-breaking day for passenger numbers, with bankers once again rubbing shoulders with tourists in the terminal. But the good news stops there, because business travel traffic is proving impossible to forecast in the short term, and pre-pandemic levels aren't pegged to return until at least 2025.
The business traveler's favorite, and formerly Europe's conduit to doing business (and lunch) with the capital’s bankers, London City Airport remains quiet and is preparing to lay off staff.
Although these scores are high in comparison to, let's say New York's LaGuardia Airport, they indicate that there's room for improvement -- not a bad conclusion for a research firm that advises destinations on such initiatives.
