Ministers have granted approval for London City Airport to expand its capacity, a decision that has drawn criticism from climate campaigners.
The airport's proposal aims to increase passenger capacity from 6.5 million to 9 million annually by adding more weekend and early morning flights.
The move has faced opposition from local campaigners and Newham Council, who argue that the expansion will exacerbate air and noise pollution for nearby residents and potentially increase carbon emissions. Photo by T A, Wikimedia commons.
