Oxford airport has announced its first international flights plan.
From December 19 onwards, weekly flights will run between the recently renamed ‘London’ Oxford Airport (in Kidlington) and Geneva International.
The line is operated by Baboo, a Swiss airline which serves 19 destinations. Tickets cost £78, including taxes.
The opening of the new route is set to coincide with the 2009-10 ski season, with the airlines providing “generous luggage allowances”, including free skis and snowboard transfers.
One student said, “Calling it ‘London’ Oxford Airport is absolutely absurd – it’s 60 miles away from the capital.” He added, “Perhaps Varsity would sell out even faster if they offered flights from Oxford.”
