It would require a decent survey to see where people in Oxford want to fly.
It seems to me that the airport's operators and GTE are rooting around to try to find a route which sticks - over the past couple of years they've tried Geneva, Guernsey (or was is Jersey?), Palma, and now NYC via Dublin. Part of the problem I see is that they don't appear to advertise the flights very widely - if Ryanair were their they'd have billboard adverts in and around the city etc etc. Also, some clarity over flight-only prices would be helpful, instead of these confusing flight & accommodation offers.
Seeing as the operators obviously read and take on the advice proferred within this thread, I look forward to the announcement regarding the new passenger terminal...

Just a quick note for those of you in Oxford...the Jersey flight next summer will be operated by Blue Islands. Flights as followed:
SI2151 Jersey 14:30 - Oxford 15:25
SI2152 Oxford 15:55 - Jersey 16:50
Most likely will be operated by an ATR42.

It was only a matter of time. Good news for the airport. Well done Manx2. Will be interesting to see how it effects the weekly summer Jersey charters.
Ironic to see Linksair back in Oxford. The route is showing both J31s and FLM D228s. MH

I'm not sure it will affect Blue Islands too much because the Channel Islands Travel Service mainly takes bookings for all-inclusive holidays - so most people who want that will go through there. Obviously there'll be a bit of conflict but nothing too major.

Bit of publicity for OXF - welcome I'm sure.

If Ryanair were there they'd be vigourously marketing OXF as "London North West".

Anybody know what the Starflight Express 737-700 (BBJ) N92SR was doing at Oxford recently? It came in from Stansted, and was parked up on the apron for quite a wwhile...

EGHQ, Oxford Airport now has a fully operating radar.
Alex7557, the BBJ was, just that, parked at Oxford.
Parking probably cheaper at Oxford than Stansted, plus Oxford is outside the Olympics zone.
Cheers
