A new aircraft type will make non-stop flights from London City airport to New York, Moscow and Dubai a reality.
Flights by the new Bombardier CS100 aircraft, operated by Swiss International Air Lines, have just been launched between London City and Zurich.
However, the range of the aircraft means that it fly nearly 3,500 miles, enabling non-stop flights to New York to be operated for the first time.
The aircraft, capable of handling 130 passengers but laid out by the airline to carry 108 with a business class, is claimed to be a “game-changer”.
