Location, location, location is the premise on which London City Airport (LCY) has built its new Jet Centre, and it is on the same premise that it will charge business aircraft operators landing and handling fees averaging two to four times those at its nearest
rival FBOs. London City Airport is located just six miles east of the UK capital’s City financial district and two miles east of the Canary Wharf business district, which is increasingly housing major banks and financial institutions.

The new facility has unveiled bundled prices encompassing landing fees and all handling services (except fuel and catering), with higher rates applying between the peak hours of 7:45 a.m. and 9:15 a.m., and 5:45 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. Tariffs are split among three categories of aircraft: small, up to eight metric tons (17,637 lb) in mtow; medium, between eight and 15 metric tons (17,637 lb to 33,069 lb); and large, more than 15 metric tons (33,069) lb.
