London's fifth busiest airport behind Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton, London City airport is located in the Docklands area.
As you might expect from the fact that it is the least busy, it is also the smallest, serving around 1.5 million passengers a year.
Most of these are business fliers, and the airport has won the Business World 'Best Business Terminal' award four times.
The early noughties were a key period for the airport. It celebrated its 15th birthday and its 10 millionth passenger, while it could also look forward to the greater access given by the Docklands Light Railway.
Since then, any attempt at expansion has been met with fierce local opposition, a situation which limits the length of the runway and therefore the destinations which can be visited.
Despite this, London City Airport serves 36 destinations on around ten airlines, while there are plenty of London City Airport hotels nearby for the convenience of passengers.
