HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Australia's Jetstar Group plans to launch a Hong Kong-based budget airline focused on mainland China routes and has started discussions with the city's government to apply for an air operator's certificate, the Apple Daily reported Thursday, citing unnamed sources.
I hope they've done their market research on this. LCC airlines in China don't seem to be popular with the Chinese traveling public. There's only one LCC in China at the moment (Spring Airlines) and the other LCC from Hong Kong (Oasis Airlines) went bankrupt a few years ago.
