Next to the October 2018 passengers figures, according to which Antwerp Airport lost 12.1% passengers compared to October 2017 mainly due to the loss of traffic of defunct VLM, the airport announced a new airline to connect Antwerp with London City Airport.

In an interview with Het Laatste Nieuws, Antwerp and Ostend airports CEO Marcel Buelens said: “From 2019, you will be able again to fly between Antwerp Airport and London City Airport“. Which particular airline is still unknown (*), but the CEO is hoping to make an announcement mid-December. “I think we will announce even more business destinations,” the CEO added.
(*) some forum members think of La Nova as new airline.
