All flights to and from London
City Airport were cancelled on Monday after a World War Two bomb was
discovered.
The bomb was found during
pre-planned work at the airport on Sunday morning in the River Thames at George
V Dock, the airport management said.
“All flights in and out of London
City on Monday are canceled and an exclusion zone is in place in the immediate
area.
“The airport is cooperating fully
with the Met Police and Royal Navy and working hard to safely remove the device
and resolve the situation as quickly as possible,” said Robert Sinclair, CEO of
London City Airport in a statement.
The Metropolitan Police said that
properties within the exclusion zone had been evacuated, and that a number of
road cordons were in place.
