80 airport jobs go

UP to 80 engineering employees at Oxford Airport have lost their jobs after a sale fell through.

Owners BBA were trying to sell CSE Aviation as a going concern, but failed to agree the terms.

An engineer at the site, who asked not to be named, said staff were called into a meeting and told the company would close with the loss of all 80 jobs.

He said: "I have worked here for a long time. I don't know what I am going to do."

CSE Aviation was the final business at the site owned by BBA.
