The airport said it has been the most punctual one consistently since April 2012.

It has also recorded the shortest average delay at six minutes.

“The latest statistics from the Civil Aviation Authority show that London City Airport has been the most punctual of all UK airports for the last two years running,” said Declan Collier, CEO of London City Airport.

“In addition, we have the shortest average delay in the country, at just six minutes, compared to an average of nine minutes. It’s a fantastic achievement and a testament to our extensive work to ensure our turnaround process is industry-leading.

“Some two thirds of London City Airport passengers are business travellers and time is of utmost importance to them. At London City Airport, you can go from the terminal door to your departure gate in 20 minutes and, on arrival, from the tarmac to the train in just 15 minutes.

“The airport’s location will also save you time – it is the only airport in London, with the Docklands Light Railway providing easy access to Canary Wharf, the City of London and Westminster, all in under 25 minutes.”
