If we had the choice, we’re sure many Londoners would choose to fly from City Airport. Easy to get to and with fancy security scanners that let you bring liquid containers larger than 100ml, there's a reason it was recently ranked the best airport in London and second-best in the entire UK.
The expansion is part of ongoing efforts from City Airport to raise its annual passenger cap from 6.5 million to 9 million by 2031, and while it might mean more flight options for Londoners, not everyone's happy about it.
Newham Council rejected plans for an expansion to the airport last July, raising concerns over the potential impact on the climate and noise in the borough where the airport is located.
It also came under scrutiny after it was found that one in four flights left the travel hub more than half empty in the first six months of 2023.
