Recently launched Varsity Express airlines offered flights from Oxford to Edinburgh.

Flights from Oxford to Edinburgh on Varsity Express are currently not running due to a dispute between the airline and the provider of the planes.

The flights operated in an 18 seat Jetstream plane.  If flights recommence, they will run exclusively on weekdays to cater for the airline’s core business travel demographic.
