Bombardier’s Learjet 40 and 45XR were set to receive UK Civil Aviation Authority approval to operate into London City Airport (LCY) before the end of last month. Europe sales director Trevor Lambath told the EBAA Forum that a Learjet 45 completed validation flights at the downtown gateway during the second week of last month.

Individual operators still have to apply to the CAA to have their operating manuals amended, having first proved that their crews are qualified to use LCY’s 5.5-degree steep approach and 4,327-foot runway.
