London City Airport reopened for passenger flights Sunday after a three-month shutdown due to Covid-19, according to a statement by the airport.

New safety features include temperature checks, signs and floor markings to help with social distancing and crowd-tracking technology so staff can monitor and direct passengers in large crowds to quieter areas. Passengers are also being asked to wear face masks.
