London City Airport (LCY) has completed a significant upgrade project at its departure lounge, with the aim of enhancing the passenger experience.
This investment has introduced two new restaurants, an expanded duty-free area and a new WHSmith store. It also provides 30% more seating and charging stations for passengers.
These improvements were supported by SSP, Lagardère Travel Retail, WHSmith, and Boots.
The expanded Aelia Duty Free Store by Lagardère Travel Retail features a range of London-themed products, with a focus on local and British brands.
Meanwhile, SSP’s Hithes restaurant offers traditional city pub dining and modern London brasserie cuisine.
Alison FitzGerald, Chief Executive Officer of London City Airport, said:We are delighted to unveil our upgraded departure lounge, which builds on our unrivalled customer experience and commitment to providing one of London’s best passenger experiences.
Over the last couple of years, we have taken the opportunity to redevelop our entire proposition, including the roll out of cutting-edge security scanners and now the offer of new restaurants and shopping experiences that celebrate some of the leading brands in our neighbourhood of east London.
This project will further enhance the travel experience at London City Airport, which is the closest airport for over half of all Londoners.
