Imagine if you can fly LCY-JFK. I can guarantee you that all flights will be full with all the Ibankers.
Basically, no.

They plan to build stands over the dock and expand a bit - but there will be no changes to the length of the runway. Mainly due to a combination of space constraints, and LCY seemingly having a reasonably solid commitment to being a good neighbour is also a factor.

And IIRC flight to the US, even biz jets, are specifically banned. As to why I have no idea.
