This morning, 16 January 2023,

Luxair operated its first flight from Antwerp Airport, Belgium.

The Luxembourg-based airline will connect London City Airport, United Kingdom
four times a week until the end of March,
from 29 March (Summer 2023) the number of flights will be increased to 5 flights a week.
Eric Dumas (CEO Antwerp Airport):
“The relaunch of the route to London City is an important milestone for our airport.
It is an iconic connection that has existed for more than 25 years.
We are particularly pleased that as of today our airport is once again connected to the British capital.”
The aircraft

The flights are operated with a De Havilland Dash DHC-8-Q400 that seats 76 passengers.

The Dash DHC-8 Q400 aircraft is an extremely fast turboprop aircraft
that can travel short distances almost as fast as a regional turbojet.
On top of that, it is also a very fuel-efficient aircraft.
