Oasis Hong Kong Airlines obtains Air Operators Certificate - Fares to London from HK$1,000

Oasis Hong Kong Airlines celebrated another milestone on Friday when the Civil Aviation Department awarded the airline its Air Operator’s Certificate after it successfully completed its proving flight on October 16. The airline is set to make its inaugural flight to London Gatwick on October 25, offering four flights per week initially.

This significant news comes on top of Oasis Hong Kong Airlines’ sale of over 18,000 tickets since it started accepting reservations in early September. In addition, the airline is offering all business and economy class tickets between Hong Kong and London at their lowest fare levels of HK$1,000 in economy class and HK$6,600 in business class one-way between October 25 and November 30 to celebrate its inaugural month.

Stephen Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Oasis Hong Kong Airlines, said, “We take great pride in announcing that we now have the Air Operator’s Certificate, having fulfilled all the requirements by the authorities. Passengers who may have been holding off booking their flights now have no reason at all to delay making their reservations. With overwhelming ticket sales achieved for our inaugural month promotion, we are excited about our mission of offering accessible and affordable long-haul travel for thousands of Hong Kong people with two state-of-the-art Boeing 747-400s.

“With the expected arrival of our second aircraft next month, we will increase to a daily flight starting from November 25. After London, we aim to fly to Oakland (San Francisco area) in California in the first quarter of 2007 and later to other European and North American cities including Cologne/Bonn, Milan, Berlin and Chicago, providing business and leisure travellers with highly competitive fares to a wider range of desirable long-haul destinations.”

Despite the airline’s strong record of 1,100 ticket sales sold daily, currently the special HK$1,000 and HK$6,600 “hot deal” tickets are still available for Christmas and Chinese New Year. Quick booking is advised as around 80% of the tickets in this lowest price bracket have already been sold. Oasis Hong Kong Airlines’ price promise ensures 10% of economy class seats on every flight at the HK$1,000 amazing rate for at least one year after its launch.
