Oasis

The whole Cathay business fell apart because they tried the impossible - routing through Russia and getting 5th freedom traffic rights. It was inevitable that this would run into difficulties.
As far as I'm aware there are no such difficult bilateral issues with Oasis and their proposed routing but if there are, I'm sure the MAN team will fight for the rights - as indeed they did on the Cathay business.
However, I agree that it will be better to see bookings available on their website rather than MAN just being a proposed point. But the fact that it has now just appeared on the Hong Kong Airport website must be progress.
So fingers crossed for an announcement soon if the start date of July is to be successful.
