Expansion job creation estimate halved
13.09.09
The benefits of the expansion of London City Airport were exaggerated, it has been reported. In July the airport was given the go-ahead to expand flights from 80,000 to 120,000 by the end of 2010. This was based on projections including that the development would bring 1,000 new jobs to East London.
However, in a recent letter to Newham MP, Stephen Timms, Newham Council said the airport had now said that only 480 new jobs will be created in the near future. This is less than half the original estimate.
