London City Airport is making impressive progress as the £480m City Airport Development Programme gathers pace. What are the developers hoping to achieve, and what will the final plans look like? Because of space limitations and just one, very short runway, large aircraft is not permitted to use the airport, which limits long-haul flight availability. The lack of space also means that London City Airport operates out of a relatively small terminal building. All of this hasn’t hampered the airport’s popularity, but has meant it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with demand.
