Article: Reuben brothers land Oxford Airport for 40m

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.
