A safety assessment on a planned cable car project has been launched over concerns that it could be too close to London City Airport. Transport for London (TfL) has asked the National Air Traffic Services (NATS) to conduct the review, however, TfL said it still aimed to deliver the project in time for the Olympics.

 The cable car would link 2012 Olympic venues at Greenwich to the Royal Docks in East London. It was designed to cut journey times between the O2 arena and the ExCel exhibition centre, both of which will host events at the games.
