NORD/LB supports London City Airport’s refinancing

NORD/LB and eight leading banks signed a combined £490 million refinancing package for London City Airport, located in the heart of the UK’s capital.

Beyond refinancing existing debt, a supplementary capex provision will allow London City Airport to drive forward a range of IT and terminal infrastructure upgrades, including increased check-in desk capacity, additional luggage belts, improvements to lounge areas, and expansions to car parking facilities, delivering significant enhancements to the passenger experience.

A portion of the financing will also support community programmes designed to manage and reduce the impact of aircraft noise within the local area.

Since its opening in 1987, London City Airport has established itself as a key, ultra-fast connection point to continental Europe, and is situated adjacent to the financial centres of Canary Wharf and the City.

London City Airport has set an ambitious goal of becoming one of the most sustainable airports in Europe and achieving net-zero emissions by 2030 - an initiative that is of strategic importance to NORD/LB when it looks at investment opportunities.
