The London City Airport Consultative Committee (LCACC)

The LCACC provides a forum to monitor and discuss all aspects of the operation and development of the airport, and especially its impact on, and opportunities for, people living and working in the surrounding area. The committee is made up of representatives from the local authorities, residents, community forums and businesses that have an interest in the airport. Meetings are held quarterly and the committee’s agendas and minutes are published on the committee website www.lcacc.org

London City Airport’s Air Transport Forum (ATF)

The ATF was created in 1999 in response to Government guidelines set out in the 1998 White Paper - ‘A New Deal for Transport – Better for Everyone’. It is designed to improve and sustain access to the airport. The Airport Surface Access Strategy, developed and implemented in conjunction with the ATF, details short and long term plans to increase the use of public transport by staff and passengers.

The airport is committed to monitoring, promoting and participating in local transport developments and engages in discussion groups, forums, working groups and transport committees to ensure that the local provision of public transport meets the needs of all businesses in the area, as well as local residents.Community forums provide an opportunity for the airport to actively engage with residents and other stakeholders. They are also a means of providing feedback on the performance of local area strategies and commenting on regeneration proposals. London City Airport has representatives on its local forum, the North Woolwich & Silvertown forum.

Surface Access to London City Airport

London City Airport understands that its transport issues must be integrated with local transport networks and future opportunities. The airport works closely with public transport providers to maximise the services to the airport, enhancing the transport services for the local community. The opening of the Docklands Light Rail Airport Extension in early December 2005 has been welcomed by passengers, employees and the local community.
