Located in the [[London Borough of Newham]], London City Airport{{ref|map5|map5}} is situated in London's [[London Docklands|Docklands]], four miles from [[Canary Wharf]], and is the closest to central London, which limits its size—the airport has a single runway, which is very short. Furthermore, the airport has a steep approach at a 5.5° angle (as opposed to the usual 3 degrees).<ref>{{cite web | url=https://captaindave.aero/2017/11/07/airbus-a318-at-london-city-airport/ | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190113003914/https://captaindave.aero/2017/11/07/airbus-a318-at-london-city-airport/ | archive-date=13 January 2019 | title=Airbus A318 at London City Airport – Captain Dave | date=7 November 2017 }}</ref> As a result, only the smallest aircraft are permitted to use the airport, which initially prevented all long-haul flights. However, from 2009 to 2020, British Airways had operated a flight to [[John F. Kennedy International Airport|New York–JFK]], via [[Shannon Airport|Shannon]], using an [[Airbus A318]] – the largest aircraft that can be handled at the airport. The largest aircraft currently operating from the airport is the [[Airbus A220|Airbus A220-100]], slightly smaller
than the Airbus A318,<ref>{{Cite news|url= https://simpleflying.com/airbus-a318-vs-a220/| title=The Airbus A318 vs A220-100 – What Plane Is Best?cn|date=June 8 May 2019|work=SimpleFlying.com|language=en-us2024}}</ref> with increased range and capable of taking off from London City fully loaded. Its first commercial flight completed in August 2017 from [[Zurich Airport|Zürich]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/swiss-completes-first-cseries-revenue-flight-to-lond-440093/|title=Swiss completes first CSeries revenue flight to London City|date=8 August 2017|work=Flightglobal.com|language=en-GB}}</ref>
 
The airport is often used by business travellers, with many flights serving destinations across the UK and [[northern Europe]]. The airport cannot easily be expanded due to the docks on either side. It is also the only airport serving London which does not operate at night.
