A new visual identity has been rolled out across the airport and its website, but the move has been criticised by residents who see it as disrespectful to Oxford's local heritage.
‘Oxford is a great place in its own right and I find it insulting it is being considered just another offshoot of London,' said Ros Weatherall, from the Oxford Civic Society.
‘Trying to make Oxford seem like a suburb of London is very misleading. This is an insult to the major historical and cultural impact Oxford has had on the country.'
The airport, owned by Aldersgate Investments, lies some 60 miles from the centre of London. In comparison, London Stansted Airport is 40 miles from the capital, while London Luton Airport is 35 miles from central London.
