Indeed an interesting tactic... LCY is full now anyway so if they run VLM off maybe they could obtain their slots....
"London City Airport says that it is now officially full following last week's announcement that Air France subsidiary CityJet will switch its flights to Strasbourg from Gatwick to the Docklands hub.
An airport spokeswoman told news website abtn.co.uk: 'We are at capacity with the recent introduction of Strasbourg, Vienna and Berlin. We have applied for an increase in movements from the current level of 80,000 to 120,000 by 2010 - hopefully that will be approved by the London Borough of Newham.'
Any increase of that magnitude would allow passenger numbers to rise to 3.9m, although the airport says that opening hours would not change and that there would be no need for night flights."
