London City airport has said 2016 was its busiest year to date.
The airport handled a total of 4,526,059 passengers in 2016, a 5% increase on the previous year.
London City airport chief executive Declan Collier said: “More people are travelling and making the right choice by opting for London City Airport.
“Our offer of a speedy and efficient passenger experience, just six miles from the City of London, means less time in transit and more time for the purpose of your trip.
“With 52% of all passengers travelling for business, the 5% year-on-year growth demonstrates that the appetite for business travel to and from London remains strong despite the unpredictable political climate, as we prepare to expand the airport in 2017 to meet increasing demand.”
