Sir – In your editorial (July 23) you state that flights from Oxford airport will offer ‘intriguing opportunities for the future’ and that ‘most people in the area will find the idea of short haul flights to Western Europe or to UK destinations an attractive one’.

I find this rather an odd statement at a time when we should surely be reducing carbon emissions.

But even if you do believe that climate change is a myth, you surely can’t also believe that the environment of Oxford will benefit from all the infrastructure that surrounds commercial airports.

If you would like to live in Stansted, Luton or Gatwick, can I respectfully suggest that you move there?
