These are the following operational hours of London City Airport.

Monday – Friday = 06:30 – 22:00
Saturday = 06:30 – 12:30
Sunday = 12:30 – 22:00

So there you have it – LCY is only closed for 24 hours between Saturday 12:30 – Sunday 12:30. So that CityJet flight will operate. I myself have also flown with Aer Lingus on a flight to Dublin on a Saturday morning a few years ago.

The number of movements are limited to 73,000 Air Transport Movements (ATMS) per calender year.
LCY must also only be used by aircraft producing up to a maximum of 94.5 PNdB, which represents the upper noise limit for aircraft using the airport.

Hope this answers all questions

What I noticed on that picture is that there are 2 emergency overwing exits? I didnt know A319’s could have 2 emergency overwign exits – oh well doesnt look like a problem 🙂

I heard rumors of Ryanair wanting to fly to Debrecen, Hungary and Vilnius, Lithuania but that was a month or so ago – maybe a possibility for the future?
