One month to go to Minoan Routes launch from London Oxford

Passengers awaiting  the launch of Minoans  services from  Oxford to  Edinburgh and Dublin have just a month to wait  to experience  the quality on board products.

Minoan's  Fokker F50 fleet features the profile  of its base Crete on the sides of its aircraft.

Services to  Edinburgh and Dublin  commence 04  and 06 March  offering business day return  services   with additional Sunday services to both  destinations.

Aimed primarily at the corporate travel community , access to  seat purchase  can now be effected via the industry  GDS portals Amadeus, Travelport and Sabre in addition  to  Minoan's own website.

Locally recruited crew  are supplementing the  head office based crew for the Oxford operation.

The proposed passenger volumes associated with  these additional Oxford destinations has  necessitated the expansion of  passenger areas in the terminal. Every effort has been made  to  retain the 'business class lounge ' feel  of the check in and gate areas.  Short passenger processing distances from  surface transport through check in  to  plane  have allowed Minoan to  specify a minimum check in  time of just 20 minutes  for Oxford departures .
