London Oxford Airport

Voted ‘Best Business Aviation Airport’ 2016 & 2017 - Europe’s Sapphire Pegasus Awards Voted ‘Best Business Airport’ – UK's Airport Operators Association Voted one of the top 5 FBOs (private jet terminals) in Europe - Altitudes London Oxford Airport (OXF / EGTK) is the UK Thames Valley's only regional airport, located equidistant between Heathrow and Birmingham as the only IFR airport alternative. 6 miles from central Oxford, but an hour from London via the uncongested M40 motorway, the airport has a catchment of over 5 million passengers. Now served by the new Oxford Parkway rail station, just over 55 minutes from central London. The airport has a unique mix of usage having hosted Europe’s largest pilot training school, Oxford Aviation Academy. However, today, it has evolved into also being one of the UK’s top five private and business aviation hubs with some 6,000 private aviation flights and over 8,000 ‘VIP’ or executive passengers a year. In recent years, the airport has also hosted airline flights, both daily schedules and seasonal holiday charters, with aircraft such as the Embraer E-series jets, BAe/Avro 146/RJ and the new C-Series airliners. Scheduled flights have been hosted for Edinburgh, Dublin, Jersey and Geneva in the past, but today the airport is primarily focused on its traditional general aviation sectors, nevertheless still open to viable proposals for the reintroduction of any commercial services. London Oxford has infrastructure expected to be found at notably larger regional airports, having invested well over £25m since 2008. Operating from 06:00 to midnight and for aircraft up to 737-800 size, the airport also hosts over a thousand employees working for 25 businesses including five aircraft maintenance companies and four pilot training establishments, creating a specialist aviation and aerospace hub. Tenants include global industry leaders such as CAE, Airbus and Gama Aviation.
