Aer Arann has just celebrated the first anniversary of it flights to London City Airport from the Isle of Man.

The service has provided an important business and leisure link between the Island and London, and has seen the airline carry 60,000 passengers in its first year – 30% of the London to Isle of Man market.

The airline made history a year ago by becoming the first airline to become certified to operate the ATR 72-500 series aircraft into London City Airport having worked with the CAA, ATR and London City airport to obtain the required steep approach certification for the modern, quiet and environmentally friendly turbo prop.

In addition to its London City service, Aer Arann also operates a daily service from the Isle of Man to Dublin and recently introduced Isle of Man to Paris flights which will operate weekly throughout February 2010.
