The first low fare airline to fly to Hong Kong is today celebrating a successful first quarter. Since its launch on 26th October the airline has taken over 70,000 bookings and carried 34,000 passengers with an average 76 of the flights operated on time in January – exceeding the industry average of 75 of bookings being made through www.oasishongkong.com

Route Expansion
Oasis Hong Kong Airlines is committed to making long haul travel between the UK and Hong Kong more affordable and accessible for all. With clear signs of strong demand for low fare long haul travel, the airline is looking to expand the Oasis offer to new markets.

Oasis now has a fleet of two Boeing 747-400’s, and announces the purchase of three additional aircraft in 2007. These aircrafts will be used to expand Oasis’ service from Hong Kong to Oakland and Vancouver within the year.

Ongoing Offers
Oasis is committed to year-round offers that make affordable long distance travel a possibility for families. Two offers are being announced in February: university students can take advantage of half price economy tickets starting from a remarkable GBP37.50 one way excluding taxes for travel between now and 25th October. For families, the Kids Fly Free offer enables one child to fly for free with an accompanying adult on Oasis flights up to 25th October 2007 . The offer is valid for travellers buying economy fares from GBP119 (one way before taxes) and businessOasis fares from GBP470 (one way before taxes).

Steve Miller, CEO, Oasis Hong Kong Airlines, commented: “We have had a strong start since our launch on 26th October, we’ve flown 34,000 passengers between London and Hong Kong, which exceeded expectations, and we have secured 70,000 bookings. This year we will be expanding our fleet, introducing new routes, and demonstrating our commitment as a family airline, with the launch of offers that allow affordable travel to Hong Kong for families and students.”
