London City Airport have launched a 10-week consultation into proposed expansion plans. The plans include –
- An increase in passenger numbers from 6.5 million to 9 million a year (by using larger, quieter planes)
- Removing the ban on Saturday afternoon and evening flights
- Operating more flights at the start and end of the day
To view the proposals in detail, visit the London City Airport consultation website. The consultation is open until 09 September 2022.
A well established campaign group (HACAN EAST), made up of concerned residents from East London and South East London, mainly concerned about the impact of London City Airport, have their own website, where they provide information and analysis on subjects such as this consultation and London City and Heathrow airports flight paths. Anyone interested in their views can visit hacaneast.org.uk/home/ .
