Airport chief executive Robert Sinclair said: “London City is continuing to move in the right direction.
“The start of the year has been in line with expectations, but we will see a step change from the Easter period onwards and we will be geared up to serve close to 2019 levels of passengers in periods through the summer.

“The new lanes will not only cut hassle, but also cut queuing times, which I know passengers will love.”
