Paul Gibbs, Bechtel's UK Managing Director, said: "Delivering London City's expansion in an operational, urban airport surrounded by water, presents complex challenges that our team can meet.

Declan Collier, Chief Executive Officer of London City Airport, said: "The appointment of Bechtel signals the next important step towards the start of construction on this significant development. Their expertise and experience will ensure that the programme is delivered responsibly, professionally and skillfully, while the airport remains operational.

"Meanwhile, our millions of passengers will continue to recognize the speedy and efficient customer experience that differentiates the airport as one of the most convenient in the UK."
