Six month service underwritten by government
New flights between London City and Heathrow will continue beyond the initial six month period – but only if customers use them.

The London City service will start on 19 April with the Heathrow service starting on 3 May.
Giving evidence last week, Dr Alex Allinson says his department had been 'told of a demand for those flights and we want to make sure they use them':
