On 8 July 2009, the London Borough of Newham granted LCA planning permission to increase the number of permitted air transport movements (ATMs) to 120,000 flights per year. The increase will allow LCA to handle up to 3.9 million passengers, up 1.4 million on the 2.5 million passengers handled in 2006. As the increased number of flights at London City Airport inevitably means more than 500,000 more passenger will be using the airport, this should automatically have come to you for planning approval. Why did you not insist on this?
