London City Airport To Be Operational By The End Of June
The small central London airport has been closed since March 25th due to a massive drop in demand.
It would be up to individual airlines to announce if and when they are resuming services. One obvious candidate for returning to London City would be LoganAir. The airline operates a flight between London and The Isle of Man for BA CityFlyer. The only other airline operating domestic flights is BA CityFlyer itself. It makes sense for the airline to resume some London City flights. Potentially, Aer Lingus could also be included with Dublin being in the Common Travel Area.
Like many other airports, the reopening of London City will come with some new rules attached. The airport is asking passengers to observe social distancing. All passengers will have their temperature taken on arrival and departure from the airport.

Electric Aircraft Breaks World Record
It is not the first passenger plane that flew fully electric, but it is the largest. A Cessna 208 Caravan flew purely electrically for 30 minutes.
The world premiere took place on December 10, 2019. At that time a converted De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver took off from Harbor Air for its maiden flight in electric mode. It was the first fully electric flight of a passenger aircraft. The Canadian airline wants to convert its entire fleet to electric propulsion. It is relying on technology from Magnix.
Magnix is also on board the latest record. The American company has developed the Magni 500 electric motor, which is 560 kilowatts strong. It powered a Cessna 208 caravan on Thursday (May 28). With a capacity of nine passengers, the passenger aircraft is larger than the DHC-2.

Lufthansa Board Approves Giving Up Slots For A Bailout
On 25th May, the airline agreed to a $9.88bn economic recovery package under the Economic Stabilization Fund. However, the package was anything but free help. The board agreed for the airline to release 24 take-off and landing slots at both airports to competitors.

Air Canada Uses its VIP A319 for Scheduled Flights
Air Canada Jetz actually flies for musicians or athletes. Due to the pandemic, the three VIP A319s are now available to all passengers.
Bruce Springsteen, U2, the Spice Girls or even ice hockey teams such as the Edmonton Oilers: anyone who boards an Air Canada Jetz plane must have fame or the necessary change. Now even ordinary mortals can take a seat on board the VIP plane. Air Canada announced last week (May 21) that they will be using Air Canada Jetz aircraft on regularly scheduled flights. From June 1, they will be used on some domestic flights, such as from Toronto to Montreal or Ottawa.

Why Is Wizz Air So Cheap?
Wizz Air is a European low-cost carrier based out of Budapest, Hungary with operations rapidly expanding across the region and even as far away as Abu Dhabi in the UAE.
A ‘relentless focus on costs’
- A single-type fleet - the Airbus A320 family
- Fleet leases - it has a young collection of fuel-efficient and reliable aircraft
- Wizz Air’s cheapest tickets are usually for flights that depart or land at less-than-ideal times: very early in the morning or late at night
- The airline has one of the densest configurations on the market. Its Airbus A321s have 230 seats in a single class configuration - Wizz’s seat pitch is a meager 28 inches
- Tight turnaround times at airports, making the boarding and deplaning process as quick as possible.
- The passenger experience is basic - no checked baggage, no carry-on’s
Conclusion: They leave out the ‘extras’ and leave customers to pay additional fees for them. Employees won’t be paid well either..
