“This buoyant business is great news, demonstrating
the attraction of our airport to business and VIP travellers.  August was
surprisingly busy for a holiday month, total GA movements increased by 49% compared
with last August.   We hope this trend continues for some time as
business aviation sees a welcome increase in activity,” said James
Dillon-Godfray, business development director at London Oxford
Airport.
