London City Airport , London

London City Airport (LCY) is a small single-runway airport that serves the financial districts of London. It is located on a former Docklands site, in the London Borough of Newham in East London. London City is the smallest of the five international airports serving the London area after Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton. It was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in November 1987.

London City was used by 2.3 million passengers, mostly business travellers, in 2006. Due to the London City Airport, height of new skyscrapers in and around the Canary Wharf had to be limited. Passengers to the airport can use the Docklands Light Railway to the London City Airport DLR station.
