Now pray that a new investor (maybe Jezza) will step in and take over Oasis.

Without intending to cause further distress to your heart John, if they go into liquidation, the chances of getting a refund of the ticket would not look good.

Oh dear they've made a right Digsy's Dinner of it. It'll be less Up In The Sky All Around The World and more Bring It On Down and asking yourself Where Did It All Go Wrong?

Subject: Re: Oasis Airline Wed Apr 09 2008, 17:19

I was really hoping this news would Fade Away and that it was just All in the Mind, but clearly my students and I won't be going All Around The World so I'll just have to Roll with it and Keep the Dream Alive.

Dan - I did pay by credit card so I'll look into it but for now, Listen Up, Let's all make believe it didn't happen.

Oasis Hong Kong: Ceasing Airline Operations Immediately

HONG KONG -(Dow Jones)- Budget carrier Oasis Hong Kong Airlines Ltd. said Wednesday it had shut down its operations after being in service for just over 17 months.

Oasis said it had applied to Hong Kong's High Court to have its assets liquidated, and accounting firm KPMG had been appointed as provisional liquidators.

Flights were being canceled immediately, Oasis Chief Executive Stephen Miller told a news conference.

KPMG partner Edward Middleton told the news conference the liquidators were exploring the company's options.

Oasis, which offered one-way fares to London for as low as HK$1,000, had been operating four used Boeing 747-400 aircraft on flights to London and Vancouver.

The Hong Kong Economic Times reported Wednesday that Oasis had accumulated a loss of HK$1 billion since it was launched in October 2006. Oasis and KPMG didn't immediately address this issue in their news conference.

I am pulling together a consortium. Can't say too much as this moment in time but don't rule out Biggles Butts Airways flying to Gatwick in the not too distant future.

Was interviewed by three newspapers and two TV stations today - shame I didn't have my SiHK shirt on. School has promised to 'try' to cover all losses, which might add up to $200,000 by the time this all blows over. Time for another double whisky.
