Oxford Airport reports growth
03.05.11
Oxford Airport increased its jet movements year on year by 31% and saw its overall business aviation movements increase 18% over the last 12 months. This contrasts favourably with the average 5% increase recorded by European countries over the same period.
The airport's new Managing Director Chris Orphanou said that it is now handling an average 20 business aircraft movements a day, equating to approximately 7000 business aviation movements a year. ‘And with some 35 business aircraft regularly ‘living’ at the airport, this makes Oxford Airport the fastest growing for business aviation airport in the UK,’ he added.
The only decline in activity for a specific sector was in the number of light recreational aircraft movements, down about 11%, year on year, reflecting the general decline in the light general aviation sector during the ongoing recession.
