The margins for error are smaller than usual here.
That calls for informed judgment, does the benefit in terms of convenience offset the increased risk. In an analogous case here in the US, the then FAA administrator decided that NYC La Guardia airport was unsuitable for wide bodied jets. London City Airport may be similarly inadequate for routine operations of conventional jetliners.
Can anyone provide a more in depth perspective on the issue?
