Not Applicable. The entity 'London Red Bull Airport (GB-0672)' is not a recognized, official airport and does not appear to have ever existed as such. The airport located at the specified coordinates is London City Airport (ICAO: EGLC, IATA: LCY), which is fully operational and has not closed.
Not Applicable. The airport at this location has not closed. The name 'London Red Bull Airport' and the ICAO code 'GB-0672' are likely erroneous data, possibly originating from a non-official source like a flight simulator add-on or a user-edited map, perhaps in reference to the Red Bull Air Race events that have been held in London.
The site is the location of the fully operational London City Airport. It is a major international airport serving over 5 million passengers per year (pre-COVID). It features a single 1,508-meter (4,948 ft) runway, a modern passenger terminal, and is a hub for business and leisure travelers on short-haul routes to destinations across the UK and Europe. It is currently undergoing development as part of its City Airport Development Programme (CADP).
The actual airport at this location is London City Airport (EGLC / LCY). It is historically significant for being the first new airport built in the UK for over 40 years when it opened in 1987. It was constructed on the former King George V Dock in the London Docklands. Its primary purpose was, and remains, to serve the nearby financial districts of Canary Wharf and the City of London. The airport is famous for its unique, steep 5.5-degree approach path, which is required to clear obstacles in the dense urban environment and to mitigate noise. Operations are restricted to specific aircraft types that can demonstrate the ability to safely perform this steep approach and land on its relatively short runway.
Not Applicable. The airport is open and fully operational with no plans for closure. In fact, it has ongoing expansion and modernization projects to increase capacity and improve passenger experience.
