Cityjet Avro RJ85 EI-RJI Stunning Sunset Landing at London City Airport

Landing at London City Airport (LCY / EGLC) on a Cityjet Avro RJ85 after a short flight from Amsterdam, with stunning views over London on the approach.
PLEASE READ:
After flying on Garuda Indonesia's 777 from London Gatwick, I had booked my return flight with Cityjet so I could fly on yet another new aircraft type that I had been wanting to fly on for some time.
This was my second flight with Cityjet, my previous experience with them being on a Fokker 50 from Rotterdam earlier this year and once again I found this flight to be rather average. The difference between the Garuda and Cityjet crew was very noticeable, a complete lack of enthusiasm and energy from this Cityjet crew.
Whilst the flight wasn't bad by any means and the service was efficient with regular updates from the flightdeck, I expected a more welcoming service from the crew, it doesn't take much to smile! As for the aircraft, 3-3 seating is too much in this small aircraft and the seats are not wide enough to be comfortable!
This has to be one of my favourite approaches!

The cloud touching scene right at the beginning is breathtaking- honestly :-)

[@charlest103]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@Mraviationguy]

Stunning video mate. The cloud surfing on the descent was amazing and the reflection on the cloud was magical! The approach and scenic tour over LON is mindblowing, liked.

Fantastic video. I just love the RJ'S . Brilliant aircraft.

[@DanTheCaptain]

A truly beautiful landing. Those clouds are so puffy and graceful. Also I always enjoy a good BAe-146!

[@charlest103]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@DanTheCaptain]

No problem. I once flew one from Brussels Int. to Budapest with Brussels Airways SB! I was an awesome flight and we had a fairly interesting approach. I would like to fly one into London City one day.

[@TedsTrainsandTransport]

Superb video. Not a bad aircraft either by the looks of things.
Like this video. You get some great views of London from the London Eye, but this!

[@charlest103]

[@charlest103]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@KevinAndrew350]

Love this approach, has to be one of the best in the world but as a Londoner I am a bit biased! Excellently filmed too!

[@charlest103]

I agree with you on that! Thanks for watching! :)

[@aminozuur]

Looks good. I'm flying AMS - LCY as well this summer

[@B7BeastAVMan]

Nice video !

[@PlaneMadNews]

Very nice, I want to fly in/out of LCY soon :) liked

[@charlest103]

Thanks! It's a nice airport, I still need to fly out of there sometime, only flown into it so far! :)

[@ericvanrhee1433]

great video, gonna fly RTM-LCY in december,hopefully same nice views.

[@wimdreesen7923]

"3-3 seating is too much in this small aircraft and the seats are not wide enough to be comfortable!"
You are right. But Brussels Airlines who operated this airplane had a 3+2 configuration with leather seats in these airplanes, which were very comfortable ! Flew many times throughout Europe with this aircraft, and it felt always very capable on any type of airport/runway and reassuring (due to 4 engine layout).

[@Flightsim10HD]

Lovely video mate! Great approach in over the city :) Thanks for sharing, like from me!

[@charlest103]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@99carnot]

One of the best in-flight videos I have seen! Amazing video quality, shadow starting at :39 is awesome, and excellent views of maneuvering on final. Liked and favorited:) If St. George Wharf - Vauxhall Bridge - is in this video, please let me know where. Thanks!

[@charlest103]

Thank you! :) I've just watched the video again and no its not in the video, was close, may have been in shot if I'd moved the camera at 5:49, Vauxhall Bridge is the next bridge along the river to the right out of shot!

[@99carnot]

charlest103 Aviation Videos HD ✈ Thank you - that is very helpful!

[@amrsoliman5685]

wow perfect !!

[@tjfSIM]

This is a fantastic video! I was wondering whether it might be possible to use the soundtrack for a flight simulation video I'm editing? No problem at all if the answer's no; I will respect that and never use sound from videos without permission.

[@Sollyst1909]

I have never before observed the rainbow around the shadow of plane on the clouds 0:36-0:46 sec. in the film.

[@solpaulistano24]

Very beautiful aerial view of London, congratulations on the excellent video! Just like to know, who makes the Avro jet, and where it came from that flight? Thank you, Walter (Brazil).

[@mariusrisan]

Wonderful video, mr! Huge like! Btw, what camera do you use? :)

[@charlest103]

Thanks! I use a Sony HX20V for all my videos :)

[@myflights169]

Was the flight busy? Great vid! :)

[@charlest103]

The flight wasn't that full. Thanks for watching! :)

[@TobiasNijssen]

Regarding your comments on the crew, somehow man can understand that a crew that gets to fly a 777 with a free layover in London and just starting their shift has higher chances of being enthousiastic compared to a crew that gets to fly a small RJ85 up and down from LCY to AMS/RTM 5 times a day... just sayin

[@ManchesterAviation]

Amazing video! Nice views of London and Tower Bridge on your way down as well! Liked :-)
