London City airport is set to appeal against Newham council’s decision to reject its application to increase passenger numbers from 6.5 million to nine million.

“We are disappointed with Newham Council’s refusal of our proposals that will deliver significant benefits to our local community – including new jobs, more choice of holiday destinations for passengers and better local transport connections,” said chief executive Robert Sinclair.
