OK,
From
this newspaper article is would appear that Oasis Hong Kong and WOW Macau are still in the process of starting up.
Some random bits and pieces............
Number 8. Spicejet is quoted as \'SPICEJET, a re-invention of a domestic carrier first know as Modiluft and then re-named Royal Airways\'. and to operate from Delhi.
Number 25. Virgin Macau appears to be dead in the water. \' A spokeswoman for Brisbane-based Virgin Blue told media the airline, now majority-owned by Australian transport group, Patrick Corp. “examined the feasibility of a joint venture operation for several months. In the end, we could not reach an agreement”. \'
Number 16. Hong Kong Express and Number 26. Golden Dragon would appear to be associated entities. \'Golden Dragon Airlines is believed to be associated with Macau’s legendary casino king, Stanley Ho, through his helicopter company, East Asia Airlines. Hong Kong Express – formerly Helicopters Hong Kong, another new airline set to commence flying from Hong Kong to several Mainland cities – is expected to manage Golden Dragon.\' \'Golden Dragon\'s approved destinations also largely avoid competition with Hong Kong Express, a Hong Kong-based budget airline also controlled by Ho, which has been granted rights to fly to Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Chongqing and Ningbo.
``Both companies will not complete with each other,\'\' said Hong Kong Express chief executive Andrew Tse.
It will lease two 75-seat Embraer aircraft this year and plans to schedule flights next year, said the source. ``Golden Dragon will act as a regional airline in the future, not a low-cost carrier,\'\' he said.\'
This may be a new one. (To replace the Virgin proposal?) \'Air Macau along with two partners plans to start a budget airline at the end of the year in which it will invest US$30 million (HK$234 million) for a 51 percent stake. The new carrier will fly 22 mainland and regional routes with four aircraft to be delivered next year.\'
Plus this one. 'Another new airline already off the ground and bringing more jobs to the market is CR Airways. But it is not a budget carrier.
Having started out as a helicopter charter outfit, it now flies two 50-seater jets to China's secondary cities, such as Jinan and Nanning, holiday packages to Laoag and Clark in the Philippines, and charters to Phuket, Langkawi, Danang and Siem Reap. The carrier prefers the label "low operating cost" carrier offering "value for money" fares to destinations that would otherwise require passengers to catch two flights through major hubs.
A spokeswoman for the company said: "We are following the model of West Jet and East Jet in Canada. It's a direct point-to-point service to cities in China."
Running at a healthy 80 per cent capacity, CR Airways is already looking to expand, acquiring 70-seater aircraft to cope with demand and extending its network to mainland cities including Zhejiang, Changsha, Chongqing, Guilin, Haikou, Hangzhou, Kunming, Nanjing, Sanya, Tianjin and Wuhan. '
