London City serves mainly the financial district in London and is located on a former Docklands site three miles from Canary Wharf and six miles from the City of London. The only airport actually within London, London City is the fifth-largest airport serving the city and its operations are restricted to STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) aircraft. The airport serves over 30 business centres across Europe and North America.

GIP wins the race for Edinburgh Airport; next up is the Stansted-MAG show

2-May-12 10:16 AM

BAA announced it has agreed to sell its 100% interest in Edinburgh Airport Ltd to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) for a cash consideration of GBP807.2 million, with the sale approved by the UK Competition Commission. The sale price is payable in full at closing, expected by the end of May-2012.

Olympic Games, despite conventional wisdom, present no large benefit to airlines

1-May-12 10:20 AM

Some members of the public were incredulous last year after Qantas announced it would cut its London capacity by over a third in Mar-2012, months before the summer 2012 Olympic Games being held in London. They saw the Games presenting a large traffic opportunity and thought Qantas should wait for the Olympics to pass before reducing London capacity. But in fact the Olympic Games or any sporting event when held in a large city present little uplift. While leisure demand increases, corporate traffic tends to whittle.

British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, some of the most exposed to London, expect no notable uplift from the Olympics. During the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, airlines recorded traffic – and financial – losses as security measures stunted growth. 

Unstoppable march of the airport funds

5-Jan-12 11:20 AM

The US-based Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) stated in Dec-2011 it is raising funds to expand its airport portfolio in 2012. Senior partner Michael McGhee told the Invest and Manage Conference in London the investment fund was "in the process of raising a second fund to spend in the airport sector". Few investment funds were involved in the airport M&A business at its height in the late 1990s/early 2000s but they are very much at the forefront of what is happening now. So, who are they?

London City Airport optimistic for remainder of 2011

29-Apr-11 3:46 PM

London City Airport (LCY), on the doorstep of London’s commercial and financial districts and London’s developing EastEnd, reported a broadly level number of passengers in 1Q2011 to 1Q2010. However, the airport remains confident that 2011 will be a positive year and that traffic should surpass last year’s 2.8 million passengers.

Global Airport Development Conference delivers upbeat outlook

6-Dec-10 9:38 AM

The 17th annual Global Airport Development (GAD) conference and attendant Investing in Airports summit were held in Dublin, Ireland, from 15 to 18-Nov-2010, attracting around 230 speakers and delegates at the main conference.

London City Airport - a marketable proposition?

10-Nov-10 5:24 PM

Amidst the turmoil surrounding the sale of London Gatwick Airport last year and the Oct-2010 Court of Appeal ruling that confirms the sale of Stansted Airport, it is often overlooked that Greater London and the southeast of England is home to at least seven commercial airports serving the catchment area. One of them, London City Airport – LCY - (the only one actually within London) has been arguably the most successful in recent years in terms of passenger traffic growth. There is a suggestion that it could be sold off in 2011 by its majority owner GIP, which now has London Gatwick airport in its portfolio as a competitor to London Heathrow. What benefits might LCY offer to an investor now?
