London City Airport expansion paused over noise
Wednesday 3rd June, 2026
London City Airport faces calls to pause its plan to lift capacity from 6.5m to 9m while independent real‑world noise assessments are commissioned amid fears larger aircraft and more flights will increase disturbance for nearby residents. This gives Airbnb a chance to speak about local community impacts and quiet, reliable travel experiences for guests in East London as transport changes could affect demand and neighbourhood quality for hosts and visitors.
