Derry City and Strabane District Council is seeking a supplier to operate a Public Service Obligation (PSO) air route between City of Derry Airport (CODA) and a London airport. The eligible London airports are London Gatwick, London Heathrow, London City, London Luton, London Southend and London Stansted; a London airport is defined by the Department for Transport as any airport that can access London transport zone 1 within 60 minutes by rail. Tenderers are encouraged to offer more than one London airport option with separate cost estimates for each to allow assessment of hub access value. Slots must be available to operate the proposed schedule and acquired by the airline through the regular slot allocation process, as slots will not be ring-fenced by government. Submissions must be made via etendersNI through this CfT and further detail is provided in the CfT documents.
