London City Airport ( LCY) argued that their proposed expansion was necessary to meet the rising post-Covid demand for air travel and to stay competitive among other European airports. The airport had proposed an extension of its operational hours on Saturdays to permit departures and arrivals up until 6:30 PM, as well as three additional early morning weekday flights.Īs it currently stands, flight operations are not permitted between 12:30 PM Saturdays and 12:30 PM Sundays as part of a noise abatement curfew. This verdict comes as a result of growing concerns over the potential increase in noise pollution caused by the additional flights. On Monday, Newham Council made the decision to reject London City Airport’s proposal to expand its passenger capacity from 5 million to 9 million by extending its operating hours.
