Aéroport le Plus Proche du Centre-Ville

9.5

km from city center

London City Airport is just 9.5 km from the City of London financial district, the closest major airport to a global financial center.

Explication

Built on the former Royal Docks in east London, London City Airport primarily serves business travelers with its steep-approach capable runway. The 1,508-meter runway requires aircraft certified for a 5.5-degree glideslope, steeper than the standard 3 degrees. Some airports like Santos Dumont in Rio de Janeiro and Billy Bishop in Toronto are even closer to their city centers.
