Today (9th of September) Air Antwerp has done their first ever commercial flight to London City Airport (EGLC/LCY) out of their hub, Antwerp International Airport (EBAW/ANR). This flight was done by their only aircraft registered OO-VLS, a former VLM Fokker 50. The flight number was WP100/ATW100 and the callsign was Devil 100, this route will most likely be their only route for a while but of course they hope to expand their route network and fleet size, this route will also be flown 3 times every day which means 6 total flights per day. This marks a good day in Belgian aviation and a lot of people of course hope that Air Antwerp will grow bigger and maybe even become as big as Brussels Airlines one day, of course in these times you never know how things will turn out.
Also everyone please give me some feedback on how I can improve this topic, itās my first news topic so there might be a bunch of stuff/info missing.
I think this is quite a good topic! It is concise and has all of the information anyone would want to know about this route. The picture of the aircraft is a nice touch
Yes itās always much easier to include information at the start. Iāve seen topics where there was practically nothing and the topic didnāt inform everyone anything beyond the title š
I know that the Fokker 50 isnāt a fan favorite for votes, like for example the CS100, ATR-72 and Concorde beat the F50 by a mile but I thought Iād give it a shot xD.

I really liked watching the flight. I followed them through their social media. Super awesome looking. I would not mind flying them sometime when I get money.
Yeah but theyāre cheap and honestly still pretty good aircraft, you just have to look under the (ugly) airframe. If they would have gone for the q400 for example they would have a bit of an issue with money, since this is an old VLM aircraft itās already registered too.
