If you ever get the chance to fly into LCY, take it. The steep approach & what seems like eye-level tour of the City business district skyline is spectacular.

I believe British Airways operates A-318s on that route LCY-JFK, also the A-220 would have to be “steep approach” certified to land in LCY if i am not mistaking and i din’t know id the 220 is.

The A220 is certified for the steep approach at LCY - Swiss Airlines flies the A220 into LCY

I wonder if Delta will be tempted to operate an all business class A220/C-Series from LGA (or JFK) to London City Airport? It has the range and would be very attractive to the financial services travelers. British Airways operates a A319 between London City and JFK but flying westbound it must refuel in Shannon Ireland. The A220/C-Series could fly non-stop

It wouldn't be allowed to do LCY-LGA, LGA doesn't have customs and any flight must be domestic or be from a preclear airport, such at YYZ or YUL.

Actually it wouldn't be allowed at all. LGA has a perimeter rule prohibiting flights from arriving or departing over 1500 miles from it. Plus, I don't know much about the 220, but I imagine the fuel load required for such a flight would be a stretch if even possible on LGA's short runways. The current LCY-US flight stops in Shannon, Ireland to preclear customs, and more importantly, fuel up to capacity for the flight over the pond due to LCY's short runways.

...exceptions to the perimeter rule are flights on Saturdays and flights to Denver.

I don't know about prohibitions at LGA but Bombardier successfully flew a non-stop demonstration flight (with representative load) from LCY to JFK. https://www.bombardier.com/en/media/newsList/details.bombardier-c-series-aircraft-completes-landmark-non-stop-transat.bombardiercom.html
