London's Best Airport - Which? 2024

London City Airport (LCY) is London's most central airport, offering passengers safe, careful and speedy journeys to and from the capital. LCY is just a short hop from Canary Wharf, while the City of London can be reached in as little as 20 minutes on the DLR directly from the airport’s own station. The attractions of the West End are only another 10 minutes away. In 2019 we welcomed over 5 million passengers for the first time, many of whom were attracted by our convenient location and uniquely rapid transit through the airport – reaching their gate in under 20 minutes and getting out of the airport in as little as five.

A Sustainable Future:
Our mission is to fulfil the demands of an ever more connected world, while also improving our surrounding environment, community, and economy. We believe we can become a net zero emission airport by 2030. Given our size, our location and the nature of our route network and operation, we are ideally placed to help shape the next phase of aviation innovation in London and the UK.

In 2019 we reached a significant milestone, being rated as Carbon Neutral for the operations we control by the respected Airport Carbon Accreditation programme. We are also working with industry partners like airlines and manufacturers to create an eco-system of collaboration that accelerates progress.

Serving East London:
London City Airport is a major part of the local economy and is one of the largest private employers in Newham. Recognised by the Mayor of London’s Good Work Standard, the airport pays employees at least the London Living Wage and recruits locally. As a long-term contributor to the community, we run a number of programmes to raise aspirations, inspire students and prepare local people for work. In 2019, over 1.5 million people from East London flew to and from London City Airport while our Community Fund donated over £75,000 to 30 local good causes and will do the same in 2020.
