Disadvantages of EGLC

Interesting video clip about a member of the Green Party who wishes to close London City Airport if she wins the local elections in the UK this week. It also includes some disadvantages of the location of the inner-city airport. TL;DR: Don’t vote green if you wish to see EGLC stay.

Well I’m not from the area so I don’t have any say so in the matter. With EGLL near by, it looks like they might go green. The condo idea sounds “nice” I guess. 😕 If it disappears from Infinite Flight, I’ll just land on the condos.

Oh you mean like London Heathrow, British Airway’s hub? Sure, let’s get rid of that. Definitely not needed.

Why? You don’t want to see a “green” district in place of Heathrow? In all seriousness, I like EGLC right where it’s at. I understand the noise complaints but then again…Don’t buy or rent a place near an airport.

Look man, I know you’re joking, but be careful. Even just joking about something like that can get you into big trouble. I’m not talking about a ban from the IFC, it would be more like the Feds showing up on your doorstep in the real world.

They’re gonna show up at my house and do what exactly?

I would at least edit it out. Cops might not show up but you could be banned from here. Just a thought. Someone might flag it is all I’m saying.

Where will all the traffic go? Heathrow of course. And how will Heathrow cope with it all? Lol

I don’t think you can be banned for threatening a person you’ve never seen, then saying that it’s a joke afterwards… But since you guys take it so seriously. 🙄 Back on topic.

I highly disbelieve that the feds are going to show up to his house because he made a joke on a forum about aviation. Also your comment isn’t constructive to this thread, I suggest that next time your comment is more elaborate and more constructive for the conversation.

Cheers 🍻

I think that, no matter how much noise it makes, if I ever live close to an airport I wouldn’t care.
Just imagine living close to somewhere like JFK, or EWR, or MIA! I don’t care how much noise it makes, it’s planes!
Same applies for LCY

This video is a little one sided though. I wanna know how the rest of the population feels about it. Especially those in this community from that area.
