London City Airport

London City Airport (LCY) is located within the Royal Docks, London Borough of Newham.

London City Airport is situated 9.7 km east of the City of London and was built by the Mowlem engineering company in 1987.

The first proposal for such an airport was in 1981 - made by the London Docklands Development Corporation, the organisation then responsible for the regeneration of the area.

The airport has a single 1508 metre runway, and because of its situation, multi-engine, fixed-wing aircraft only up to Airbus A318 size are allowed to conduct operations.

The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) opened its London City Airport station on its Woolwich branch (originally the King George V branch), opening on 2 December 2005.
