Erm. London City (LCY) is, despite its admittedly central location,
far from being "London's main airport." It's a single-runway, no-taxiways type of field. That'd be like calling Meigs Field (back when it was still there) "Chicago's main airport." LCY ranks
behind Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton.
