Bombardier’s Global 8000 notched approval from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to land at London City Airport (EGLC). The approval opens up the central London airport to direct connections with destinations such as Singapore, Los Angeles, Honolulu, and Buenos Aires.

The Canadian manufacturer noted that passengers on larger aircraft such as the Global 8000 typically have needed to land at airports like Farnborough or Luton, which can tack on 60 minutes or more to transfer to the downtown area.
