London City Airport 'Superbrand'
Wed, 05 Mar, 2008
London City Airport has become the only airport to be named a Business Superbrand, joining the UK's top 500 business brands list.
Other major brands listed in the top 500 include British Airways, Air France and AIG.
Richard Gooding OBE, chief executive of the airport, said its growth is "exciting to see".
He explained that in 20 years, the airport has increased passengers numbers from 133,000 to a record of 2.9 million during 2007.
"More and more business travellers are recognising the benefits of London City Airport as it is located on the doorstep of the city and Canary Wharf," Mr Gooding added. "This accolade strengthens our position in the business of travel."
London City Airport is currently served by 11 of the world's major airlines, travelling to 33 different UK and European destinations.
It was recently named as the best UK airport at the Wanderlust Travel Awards, based on a poll of 3,000 readers.
