Who owns London City Airport?
London City Airport is privately owned by a consortium of investors, not by the City of London Corporation or the government. This means decisions about its operations, like hosting a Nike event outside flight hours, are made by its private owners, balancing commercial opportunities with operational needs. The airport opened in 1987.
