Dont get the Minoan air ones... looked into EDI-OXF recently..cheapest return £402!! aimed at biz pax but i just cant see the demand even for biz between oxford and embra...if they are marketing it as London oxford then cant see anyone choosing 400 quid to oxford and an hour on a bus above direct to LCY for a third the price.. good luck to them but i fear the worst

Indeed Tartan, the Minoan ones puzzle me somewhat...just because it says "London" in the airport name, doesn't mean there is a market for flights.
As for Brighton City Airways, I've actually met one of the people behind the venture, and I have to say that he is an all round great guy, very intelligent and runs a flying school at Shoreham airport so he has a wealth of aviation experience, and I wish him the best of luck with his venture.

£402 for a full flex fare. I just checked their website, and a return fare for EDI-OXF can be had for £102.15.
