Leading the way for cleaner, quieter aircraft
We encourage our airlines to update their fleets to include more new generation, cleaner, quieter aircraft. These aircraft are more fuel-efficient so, as well as reducing noise and carbon impact, they open up a wider range of potential destinations for the airport.
To allow more new generation aircraft to use LCY, we’re building new stands as part of our City Airport Development Programme (CADP).
The first new generation aircraft (Airbus A220-100) began operating from LCY with Swiss Air Lines in 2017. Since then, the Embraer E190-E2 and E195-E2 have also been certified to operate here.
