Oasis Hong Kong Airlines, a new start up company aims
to be a low cost carrier but operate long haul routes. They
plan to
make their maiden flight from Hong Kong to London’s Gatwick Airport in
June 2006 as Hong Kong’s first low-fare carrier.

Oasis aims to price round-trip tickets starting as low
as HKD$1,000 (USD$128), although customers looking for such a bargain
would have to book months in advance, said Oasis Chief Executive
Stephan Miller, a founder and former chief executive of the city’s
second largest airline, Dragonair. Oasis will not be
alone. Qantas’
Jetstar arm and Viva Macau also hope to launch low-cost long-haul
flights.
