Plans are in place to expand its capacity to 9 million passengers per annum by 2031, following government approval in 2024 to increase the passenger cap. The plan focuses on utilising new, quieter, and more sustainable aircraft, rather than expanding physical infrastructure
The new aircraft have longer ranges and will open up new markets not currently served from London City Airport.
The investment will enable the airport to operate up to a permitted 111,000 annual flights.
