London City Airport began life in 1981 when the Chief Executive of the newly formed London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC), Reg Ward, discussed the idea of a Docklands Airport with Philip Beck (Chairman of John Mowlem & Co plc).
Later that year, an outline proposal was submitted and in June 1982, a Dash-7 aircraft landed on Heron Quay, demonstrating that the airport was feasible.
In October, an opinion poll was published showing that many local residents were in favour of the proposals and an application for planning was submitted.
May 1985 saw the outline planning consent granted from the secretary of State., and construction work was launched by the Aviation Minister in 1986.
The airport was officially named by the Mayor of London in 1987.
By the end of 1987, 15,000 passengers had used the airport, and in 1988, the airport launched a 35 minute river bus service to and from central London, helping passenger numbers to increase to 133,000.
In 1989, passenger numbers increased to over 216,000 and plans for a runway extension were submitted.
In March 1992 the Princess of Wales visited the airport for the official re-launch of London City and the extended runway.
By the end of 1995 passenger numbers had reached over 555,000, and the London City Airport Ltd was sold to Irish businessman Dermot Desmond.
In 1997, more new airlines and destinations were added, the departure lounge was redesigned and developed and passenger numbers reached over 1 million.
As a result of this approval was given to increase the number of passenger flights in 1998 and over 37,000 flights were made that year.
In 2001 the airport won Business Travel 'Best Business Terminus' world award for the fourth time, and in 2002, the airport celebrated its 15th Birthday and 10 millionth passenger.
London City airport has continued to develop as an important London gateway with 15 airlines flying to over 25 destinations and the handling of approximately 1.5 million passengers a year. |
