UK start-up carrier World Airlines is planning to start a scheduled passenger service from London City Airport (LCA) in February, using ex-USAir British Aerospace 146-200s. The first aircraft is on its way to UK company Marshall Aerospace of Cambridge for a refit which includes in-flight telephones and facsimiles.
The airline will initially provide four daily business flights to Amsterdam during the week and leisure flights to Nice at the weekend, says chief executive Capt Ray Johnson. Copenhagen, Vienna, Innsbruck and Salzburg will follow in 1996, after delivery of a second aircraft from the same source.
