Oxford Airport upgrades safety
13.07.08
Oxford Airport will will upgrade to Cat 4 RFFS fire and rescue service all day, every day from 06:30 - 22:30 each weekday from July 21. This follows the doubling of its fire crew team from 11 to 22 full-time personnel in readiness for the opening of the airport’s new business aviation terminal, Oxfordjet.
Cat 4 RFFS means that for the first time at Oxford, a much wider range of aircraft types such as the Citation Sovereign, the new Hawker 4000, the entire Dassault Falcon family, up to the 50-seat ATR42 or de Havilland Dash-8-100/200 turboprop series can be accommodated.
This will be followed up by further enhancements to capability with the provision of Cat 5 or 6 RFFS on request later this year covering all types that could have access to Oxford on a charter / public transport basis, including the Gulfstream and Global families, Embraer Legacy and regional turboprops such as the Bombardier Q400 and regional jets such as the BAE 146 / Avro Series. This will also coincide with weekend opening hours being extended to weekday hours of 06:30 – 22:30.
