About London City Airport

London City Airport sits in the Royal Docks in east London and is unique among UK airports for its steep approach path — 5.5 degrees compared to the standard 3 degrees — which limits operations to specific aircraft types. This steep approach means it can operate in some weather conditions that ground other London airports, but it is also more sensitive to crosswinds than conventional airports. Strict noise curfews and weekend and evening restrictions create tight operational windows.
