First Oasis Airlines flight blocked
Picked up a news excerpt from an Italian newspaper stating that the inagural flight of Hong Kong based low-cost airline Oasis to LGW has been delayed due to the revokation of the overfly permits to use Russian airspace.
If this is the case, why was the permit revoked?

How do these guys honestly expect to make money when they are charging $128USD for a long haul flight from Hong Kong to London. The only thing they will succeed at doing is lowering standards and wages while spoiling the traveling public with unreasonably low fares.

Of course nobody could make money at that price but then I guess $128 is only the start price. Like most "low cost" carriers, book early enough and grab a bargain, wait till the last minute and get stung. Is that not how it works?

Because only 10% of all seats are offered at this price. You will have to book very far ahead (and with no refund in case of cancellation or rebooking) to avail of such a bargain.

It seems they left today at 13.05 local time 05.05 uk time. I guess todays Hong Kong bound flight will have a delay as well as this flight is due to get in after the Hong Kong flight is meant to leave.

Bye, Bye Oasis?

Good luck to all the crews. Sad to see another one go, but I'm not all that suprised.

Yes, this is indeed sad news. Flew with them twice to the UK. Quite apart from the price of the ticket I found their service to be friendly and efficient, on a par if not better than the more established operators. I used to be a big fan of CX but am afraid to say that the bigger they get the worse they become. I had decided to shift my loyalty to Oasis but sadly it would seem that this is no longer a possibility.
Mistrust in Management
I hope it is not true as I have friends working for them
The article also has this disclaimer:
Fingers crossed that Oasis are OK.
