London has such an incredible
amount to offer it's no wonder that over 10 million people choose to live
either in London or the surrounding areas, and it's estimated that over
25 million people visit London each and every year for work and tourism.
With so many flights landing in this vibrant city every day, it's no surprise
that there are a number of airports serving it.
| Heathrow
International Airport is the largest airport in the U.K. and is
also Europe's busiest for passenger traffic, carrying approximately 67
million passengers every year. The airport has two runways and five terminals,
the newest being officially opened in March 2008 by Queen Elizabeth II.
The vast area it covers it close to five square miles which gives you an
idea of the sheer scale of this facility. The current site was first used
as a military airfield during the First World War and has evolved throughout
the decades since to become the incredibly large transport hub that we
know today.
Gatwick
is second to Heathrow in terms of both size and traffic. With flights to
around 200 destinations, Gatwick handles around just over half the number
of passengers per year that Heathrow does. |

Just like its larger counterpart,
Gatwick Airport is used by many international airlines that fly to and
from destinations all over the globe, so while it may not have the considerable
stature of Heathrow, it still plays a vital and very important role in
transporting people in and out of London.
As the only airport actually
in London itself, London City Airport serves over thirty European destinations
and has only been in commercial use since 1987. It's a very popular airport
with city workers and leisure travellers alike and has grown considerably
since it was set up. In 2007 passenger numbers reached almost 3 million,
a considerable rise from the 133,000 who used it during its first full
year of operation in 1988. |
The location of the airport
means that flight paths are very carefully mapped out and restrictions
have had to be put in place for the heights of any new skyscrapers in the
vicinity. With the 2012 Olympic Games scheduled to be held in London in
2012, the popularity of London City Airport is set to continue to rise
in future years.
When you're looking for flights
to London you won't be short of options with these three airports and whether
the purpose of your trip is business or sightseeing, you'll benefit from
a range of transport options to take you into the heart of the action.
