BAE Systems Regional Aircraft reports a “major service expansion” this year at London City Airport, where 44 percent of daily departures involve its BAe 146 or Avro RJ regional jets, which also account for 62 percent of each day’s seats. A new operator there is to be Transwede, which will begin flights in August with twice-daily service to Norwegian capital Oslo on behalf of Scandinavian flag carrier SAS with an Avro RJ70 leased from the manufacturer.

Other carriers operating BAe146/ Avro RJ equipment at the airport include Belgian airline VLM, which has flown a BAe 146-300 to and from Rotterdam since April.
