THE billionaire Reuben brothers have bought tiny Oxford Airport
with ambitious plans for it to take advantage of the business-jets
boom and rival the likes of Farnborough, Luton and Northolt.
Oxford Airport was today sold for 40 million to a secretive
acquisition vehicle whose beneficial owner Aldersgate Investments,
the Evening Standard can reveal, is a front for David and Simon
Reuben.
The Reubens, who have been slammed by Mayor Ken Livingstone for
making a fortune from selling land on the London Olympics site, have
no known previous interests in airports or aviation.
