But doesn't LCY shuts for 24 hours from midday on Saturday, so better not go tech during that period or they won't be able to send in reinforcements.
Almost all aircraft leave London City from Saturday lunch to Sunday afternoon.
The airport operating licence discourages the parking.

Practically no line maintenance is done on station because of the environmental risk to the dock and river.

BACF move many/most up to Edinburgh and Glasgow for mx and weekend parking.
This is the core of the weekend charter and the summer MAG schedules are drawn.

Some also over stay in Berlin Frankfurt and Switzerland whilst deep maintenance takes frames of to Warsaw .
The Berlin frame makes it way to Stansted for the weekend
Geneva frames frequently position up to Scotland where they also enter the weekend holiday services both charter and summer schedules .

BTW many of BACF staff actually reside up in Edinburgh anyway.

LCY operating license and the planning agreements with Newham requires total closure 12.30 Saturday to 12.31 Sunday.

its strictly enforced and late Saturday arrivals find themselves at either SEN/STN or LGW.
