London City Airport - Dash Eight, BAe146 Whisperjet, Dornier 328, Fokker 50 and Saab 2000. Corporate aircraft such as the Beechcraft Super King Air, Cessna Citation and variants of the Dassault Falcon bizjet are increasingly common, but larger or noisier types are not acceptable. Helicopters are also denied access for environmental reasons. The earliest scheduled flights were operated by Bombardier Dash Sevens and Dornier 228 aircraft with Paris, Amsterdam and Rotterdam being the initial destinations. The size of the airport, constrained by water-filled docks to the north and south, means that there are no covered maintenance facilities for aircraft.
