Oxford Airport has seen its business traffic rise by 12.2 per cent in the last year.

According to the Eurocontrol report, the airport saw an average of 7.8 business aviation departures a day, up from 6.9 last year.

That puts it ahead of Stansted and East Midlands airports and just behind London City, which saw a drop of 10.2 per cent in business traffic.

James Dillon-Godfray, business development director at Oxford Airport, said: “This demonstrates the attraction of our airport to business and VIP travellers.”
