As the runway is short, the pilots always put the brakes on at the start of the runway while they rev-up the engines. Below, you can see the Thames River and the London Eye. Approach into London City across a foggy London. Paul’s Cathedral, the London Eye and the skyscrapers of the City and Canary Wharf.
You’ll be able to see Heathrow airport, Wembley stadium, and over central London, you’ll be treated to views of Hyde Park, the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, St. The runway is on the island.Īn alternative approach to London City Airport takes the plane over central London – the views over London are stupendous. Take-off from London City Airport in an easterly direction. At a certain point, the plane more or less ‘brakes’ in mid-air, sending the plane into a steep descent – it really feels like a nose-dive! Flying over the Thames Estuary on the approach into LCY. Strict noise restrictions mean that planes have to maintain a certain altitude before descending to land. All flights from the European continent approach the airport via the Thames estuary, then loosely follow the Thames river to the London Docklands, where the airport is located. One of the highlights for me of flying a flight to London City Airport are the fantastic view of London that can be viewed during the approach or after take-off. It’s small (getting through it is a breeze) and well-connected to the City (via the efficient Docklands Light Rail). London City Airport (LCY) is my absolute favourite of all the airports serving London.
