Dear
Mr. Purcell and Ms. Dorin:
This
response letter (this “Response”) is submitted on behalf of Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”)
in response to the comments that the Company received from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”)
of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in a letter addressed to Mr. Jay Madhu, dated April 26,
2023 (the “Comment Letter”), with respect to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4, filed with the
SEC on March 27, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”). The Company is concurrently submitting an amendment to the Registration

the Staff’s comments and other updates.
For
reference purposes, each of the Staff’s numbered comments from the Comment Letter is set forth in bold text below, followed by
the Company’s response to each comment. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Response have the meanings ascribed

Statement on Form S-4
Summary
Term Sheet, page 5
1.
Please
revise your disclosure to show the potential impact of redemptions on the per share value of the shares owned by non-redeeming shareholders
by including a sensitivity analysis showing a range of redemption scenarios, including minimum, maximum and interim redemption levels. Please also provide disclosure of the impact of each significant source of dilution, including the Founder Shares, the Oxbridge
Warrants and the Merger Consideration Warrants at each of the redemption levels detailed in your sensitivity analysis, including
any needed assumptions.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised its disclosure on page 20 of Amendment No. 1 to provide
disclosure of the potential impact of redemptions on the per share value of the shares owned by non-redeeming shareholders. Further,
in response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised its disclosures on pages 6-8 and 75-76 of Amendment
No. 1 to provide disclosure of the impact of each significant source of dilution at each of the redemption levels detailed in the sensitivity
analysis.
2.
It
appears that underwriting fees remain constant and are not adjusted based on redemptions. Revise your disclosure to disclose the
effective underwriting fee on a percentage basis for shares at each redemption level presented in your sensitivity analysis related
to dilution.
Response:
The Staff’s comment is noted. The Company confirms to the Staff that the amount of the deferred underwriting commission
payable to the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering is not required to be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed
in connection with the Company’s initial business combination. The Company has revised the disclosures on page 20 of Amendment
No. 1 to reflect the Staff’s comment.
Q:
May the Sponsor or Oxbridge’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates purchase public shares..., page

3.
We
note you disclose that in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, your sponsor, directors,
officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase public shares and such
purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. We also note
your disclosure on page 59 that any such purchases of public shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination
and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination. Please provide your analysis on
how such purchases will comply with Rule 14e-5. To the extent that you are relying on Tender Offer Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation
166.01 (March 22, 2022), please provide an analysis regarding how it applies to your circumstances.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, and while no privately negotiated transaction are currently contemplated, the Company has
revised its disclosures on pages 16, 65-66, and 123-124 of Amendment No. 1 to appropriately reflect the terms in
reliance on Tender Offer Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 166.01.

and Answers About the Business Combination
Q:

page 15
4.
We
note you disclose that the Oxbridge board obtained a fairness opinion from Stanton Park Advisors LLC. Please provide a clear explanation
as to the reason why the fairness opinion was obtained, include the fairness opinion as an annex to the proxy statement/prospectus
and include the information required by Item 1015 of Regulation M-A.
Response: In
response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised its disclosures on pages 16 and 116-118 of Amendment No. 1 and
included the fairness opinion as Annex E to the proxy statement/prospectus.
Q:
How will our Sponsor, directors and officers vote?, page 16
5.
We
note your disclosure that your sponsor, directors and officers, who own approximately [68.83]% of your issued and outstanding Class
A and Class B Ordinary Shares, have agreed to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and the other Proposals. Please
revise your disclosure to discuss whether any of the Class A Ordinary Shares would need to be voted in favor of the Business Combination
in order for the Business Combination to be approved. In that regard, we note your disclosure on page 51 that, if only the minimum
amount of shares needed to establish a quorum are present and all such shares are actually voted on the Business Combination Proposal,
none of the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares would need to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order for the Business
Combination to be approved.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company advises the Staff that pursuant to Article 49.4 of its Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company may consummate the Business Combination so long as it is approved by ordinary resolution
and the Company has net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 immediately prior to, or upon such consummation of, or any greater net
tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to, such Business Combination. An ordinary resolution
in this case, is a resolution passed by a simple majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, voting as a single
class pursuant to Article 17.1 of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. See pages 17, 34, 85, and 145
of Amendment No. 1.

Q:
What interests do the current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?, page 16
6.
Please
highlight the risk that the sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete
an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised its disclosure on page 28 of Amendment No. 1 to highlight
the risk that the Sponsor will benefit from the completion of the business combination and, rather than liquidating, may be incentivized
to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders.
7.
Please
highlight the material risks to public warrant holders, including those arising from differences between private and public warrants.
Clarify whether recent common stock trading prices exceed the threshold that would allow the company to redeem public warrants. Clearly
explain the steps, if any, the company will take to notify all shareholders, including beneficial owners, regarding when the warrants
become eligible for redemption.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments to highlight the material risks to public warrant holders, including those created
from differences between private and public warrants, and to clarify whether recent stock trading prices exceed the threshold at which
the Company may redeem public warrants, the Company has added a disclosure on page 14 of Amendment No. 1 under the question, “How
do the public warrants differ from the Private Placement Warrants and what are the related risks for any public warrant holders post-Business
Combination?” Additionally, the Company has revised its disclosures on pages 34 and 52 of Amendment No. 1 by adding
the following risk factor: “Following the Business Combination, Jet.AI may redeem your unexpired Jet.AI Warrants prior to their
exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.”

In
response to the Staff’s comments to explain the steps the Company will take to notify all shareholders, including beneficial owners,
regarding when the warrants become eligible for redemption, the Company has supplemented its disclosure on page 213 of Amendment
No. 1 as follows: “If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of
shares of Jet.AI Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue
sky laws or we are unable to effect such registration or qualification. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, if we elect to
redeem all of the redeemable warrants as described above, we will fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”) and
will mail the notice of redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered
holders of the warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they appear on our registration books. In addition, we will issue a
press release and file a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC containing notice of redemption. We are not contractually obligated
to notify investors when our warrants become eligible for redemption and do not intend to so notify investors upon eligibility of the
warrants for redemption, unless and until we elect to redeem such warrants pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement.”
Disclosures
regarding the Company’s process for notifying shareholders when the warrants become eligible for redemption have also been added
to pages 14 and 52.
8.
Your
charter waived the corporate opportunities doctrine. Please address this potential conflict of interest and whether it impacted your
search for an acquisition target.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised its disclosures on pages 18, 28, 58, and 123
of Amendment No. 1 to address the potential conflict of interest resulting from the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine in
our charter. Further, the Company advises the Staff that it is not aware of any officer or director of the Company who refrained from
presenting any opportunity to acquire a target business to the Company in reliance on the charter’s limited waiver or the corporate
opportunities doctrine or as a result of a pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligation. To the Company’s knowledge, the waiver
of the corporate opportunities doctrine in its charter did not impact its search for an acquisition target.

Do I have redemption rights?, page 18

Please
clarify whether public shareholders that redeem their shares will be able to retain their warrants. To the extent they will be able

stockholders assuming maximum redemptions and identify any material resulting risks.
