| There are a number of operators based at Oxford Airport who can undertake 20 minute or longer flights for sightseeing, pleasure, company incentives and gifts, or as a trial flight with the view to pursuing further pilot training. An ideal choice for a retirement, birthday or anniversary. Most such companies offer vouchers as gifts and certificates for the recipient when they fly. New to Oxford is the availability of flights in vintage Tiger Moth and de Havilland Dragon Rapide aircraft, along with the CAP 10 aerobatic plane. Also anticipated soon at Oxford will be short sightseeing flights past the ‘dreaming spires’ of the Oxford University colleges and the magnificent Blenheim Palace in Robinson R44 helicopters.
Many companies organise corporate days from Oxford, either flying staff or clients for day trips. In under an hour’s flight from Oxford one can reach the shores of France to Deauville, Le Touquet or Dinard (St. Malo), or indeed Bruges in Belgium, for a spot of serious gastronomy and shopping. Or try a trip to Padstow (via Newquay) for a piece of Rick Stein or Jamie Oliver! – call or e-mail us for suggestions for such events.
