After the discovery of World War II ordnance, it has thankfully been removed safely. The net result is London City Airport is re-open for business.
According to Robert Sinclair, CEO of London City Airport
“The World War Two ordnance discovered in King George V Dock has been safely removed by the Royal Navy and Met Police. As a result, the exclusion zone has now been lifted and the airport will be open as normal on Tuesday. I would like to thank the Navy, Police and the London Borough of Newham for their professionalism and expertise in bringing this incident to a safe conclusion. Finally, to everyone who has been affected – whether you were due to fly on Monday, were evacuated from your home or had your commute to work disrupted by the DLR closure – thank you for your patience and understanding.”
The airport is open for traffic, and at the time of writing, traffic appears to be operating normally.

The airport is advising passengers arrive no earlier than 2 hours before their schedule departure time – although at London City Airport – two hours is a lot of time to spend at a very small airport.
In addition, local roads have re-opened, and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) is now serving the area.
As the airport is expanding, and works continue in the King George V Dock, you never know what you’ll find in the water…
