Travelling to Oxford could be about to get a whole lot easier!

Some of our readers may be unaware that there is an airport in Kidlington, about 7 miles from the centre of Oxford. Flights go to/from Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast and the Guernsey Islands.

But it doesn't stop there. 'More plans have been unveiled for a new four-runway airport in south Oxfordshire, too! The airport includes a terminal for 125 million passengers a year, a hotel and an eight-platform train station.

An estimated 720,000 flights could operate from the airport annually which is expected to cost about £18.2bn to develop.

The proposal is one of 50 put forward, with a shortlist due to be compiled later in the year.'
