London City Airport has been given permission to go ahead with a $450m expansion plan that will fit it with seven extra stands, a parallel taxiway and an extended terminal.
The plan, which was approved by the government yesterday, will increase the airport’s capacity from 4.3 million passengers to 6.5 million by 2025.
The airport said the expansion would create “world-class terminal facilities, more space and facilitate a greater frequency of flights”.

Horrible idea, LCA doesn't need an expansion. It doesn't receive that many scheduled flights and it's in a residential area. It's an unnecessary airport that should be demolished and make way for housing. The money should be given to expand Gatwick and Stanstead to lessen the burden on Heathrow.
