at prices well below typical London-region costs.
Because it's not London, regardless of the renaming it 'London Oxford Airport'! I'd put that in the same boat as the management at Lydd airport renaming it 'London Ashford/Lydd Airport'.
As nice as Kidlington (as it always will be to me) is, it's not close to London by comparison to Biggin or many other airports. However, it is nice to see an airport try to attract more GA visitors - well done on the growth. The airport obviously works for some, as the numbers prove.
An hour from London by fast M40 road or for crew 55 mins to center via Oxford Parkway station in Kidlington
An hour by road is quite a long way for the boss to be sitting in a car/limo. That's without any motorway congestion. Even 55 minutes for the crew to get to the centre of Oxford is quite a trek should you need to get back to the aircraft at short notice. Horses for courses, I guess.
