<P> In August 2009 the airport was rebranded as London Oxford Airport . The move attracted much press comment, and criticism from the Oxford Civic Society, which described the new name as misleading; the airport is 59 miles (95 km) from Marble Arch in central London and generally considered to be well outside the London area . However, it was argued that highlighting proximity to London would make the airport more attractive to the overseas business aviation community and now the airport hosts the fourth busiest business aviation handling facility (FBO) in the UK . </P> <P> In October 2009, London Oxford Airport was approved as a UK entry point for pets, under the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS). It is one of only two UK business aviation centres to offer this service . </P> <P> Swiss airline Baboo's weekly Saturday service from Oxford to Geneva commenced in December 2009 . The service was augmented by a link to Rome through Alitalia Airlines; passengers were thus able to travel from Oxford to Rome, via Geneva . </P> <P> In January 2010 the airport announced the launch of daily flights to Edinburgh to be operated by new start - up, Varsity Express . However flights were suspended within a week, and the airline ceased operations on 8 March 2010 . A spokesman for Oxford Airport later confirmed that talks were under way with other operators, with a view to re-establishing the Oxford - Edinburgh route . It was emphasised that only well - established operators would be invited to service the route . </P>
