Oxford Airport is continuing to develop as a business aviation gateway for central and southern England, with the completion this month of a new 21,000-sq-ft hangar and the arrival of new based operators. The new Hangar 11 will be large enough for aircraft such as the Boeing Business Jet.

Later this year, the privately owned airport plans to start redeveloping the south side of the site into a general aviation park that will accommodate increasing numbers of light aircraft and entry-level jets. This will feature new long, thin, bay-style hangars modeled on similar airports in the U.S., allowing operators to easily take out light aircraft without having to move others. There will be a total of 17 bays arranged in two rows and these should be in place during 2010.
