According to the WDL website they have a German AOC and as such must comply with EU-OPS. EU ops states.....

OPS 1.285

Passenger briefing

An operator shall ensure that:

(a) General:

(1) Passengers are given a verbal briefing about safety matters. Parts or all of the briefing may be provided by an audio-visual presentation.

(2) Passengers are provided with a safety briefing card on which picture type instructions indicate the operation of emergency equipment and exits likely to be used by passengers.
...............
So unless they have some exemption, they should be onboard.

I would recommend the OP contacts the CAA via this link and also BA Cityflyer as they are operating under their AOC and not BA's.


Note: an AOC is an Air Operator's Certificate. It is the vital piece of paper from the authority that an airline requires in order to carry out it's operation. Without it, the airlines operates a museum of aluminium tubes.
