Notice To Passengers
Date: 9 April 2008 * 2050h HKG time

It is with regret that Oasis Hong Kong Airlines announces that the
airline has this morning applied to the Hong Kong Court to appoint a
provisional liquidator. The Court has appointed Edward Middleton and
Patrick Cowley of KPMG as the provisional liquidators, and they have
assumed control of the airline with effect from 1400h HKG time today.

Our flight operations have been cancelled until further notice. The
Provisional Liquidators are liaising with other airlines in order to
help customers make alternate travel arrangements as quickly as
possible.

This is really sad. I had heard lots of good things about them and planned
to use them on my next HK trip. I'm guessing that they set prices
artificially low for high quality service so they could raise prices in the
future. Unfortunately they didn't plan on fuel prices skyrocketing.

Agreed, they had really cheap fares from LGW to HKG, something like
£99 each way. I had not quite got round to making the trip but had
been very tempted.
