London City LCY Airport Overview

London City Airport LCY serves primarily London's financial district. It is one of a growing breed of airports tailored specifically to meet the requirements of the business passenger who appreciates the reduced check-in time for departures, the quick retrieval of luggage, the swift passenger processing and the friendly attendant greeting.
Because of the Airport's close location to residential areas, operations are restricted Mon-Fri to 6:30am-10pm, and Weekends to 12:30pm-10pm. Due to its short take-off and landing runway, London City Airport is restricted to mid-sized aircraft.

The Airport is located in the Borough of Newham in East London, 11 km east of central London, England, and is accessible via the A1020 Royal Albert Way, the A1020 N. Woolwich Rd, and the A1011 Connaught Rd.

With one runway and an estimated 3.1 million passengers in 2012, London City Airport is served by British Airways and its affiliated BA CityFlyer & Sun Air of Scandinavia, as well as by a number of major European Airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.

Checking in:  The Airport offers now self-bag-tagging system for your checked bags.

London City Airport has one passenger terminal.  (For more information, please refer to "Terminal Map" page.)
