cambridge Academic airline stops flights
Some free advice: Next time, try marketing to a niche with money to spend.

SkyCommuter Airlines of Great Britain is shutting down its “academic” flights, connecting Cambridge and Oxford twice a day in 8-seat aircraft.

Ironically, Oxford to Cambridge flights had previously been on the books (sorry…) for another airline, Alpha One Airways. That company, run by a 19-year old dubbed the “Baby Branson,” never started the route.

Honestly, I’m not sure which is funnier: a teenager running an airline, or an airline catering specifically to an academic clientele.
