London City Airport
London City Airport sits in the Docklands of east London, close to the financial districts of the capital, making it the most central of London's airports. At an elevation of just 19 feet beside the former docks, it has a single concrete runway of about 4,948 feet, short and hemmed in by water, which requires a notably steep approach and limits the aircraft that can use it. Oriented toward business travelers, it offers links to European cities and select destinations with quick access to the City and Canary Wharf. The LCY code identifies this distinctive field, valued above all for its proximity to the heart of London's business world.
