Just over half of the airport’s passengers are business travellers, but Collier maintained that City is not a business-only airport and is seeing growth in the number of leisure passengers it handles. “In terms of passengers’ experiences, we can’t afford to see blockages when people are coming into the country,” he added. The airport is earmarking funding to handle any changes made to immigration rules. Around a quarter of the staff at London City Airport are foreign nationals. He said he would need to be able to recruit and retain highly skilled staff after Brexit. When asked what his message would be to Brexit negotiators, Collier said: “I’ve said it in my capacity as CEO of London City and president of the World Association of Airports we want to see the maintenance of a single, European aviation market.”
