Air transport licences held by Oasis Airlines have lapsed
*********************************************************

    The Air Transport Licensing Authority today (June 6) informed Oasis Hong Kong Airlines Limited that the 13 air transport licences issued to the airline by the authority had lapsed because the airline had gone into winding up/liquidation.

    The 13 licences were for operating scheduled services on the following routes ¡V

(a)Hong Kong/ London Gatwick and vice versa
(b)Hong Kong/Cologne Bonn/Berlin Sch?nefeld Airport/Milan Malpensa Airport and vice versa
(c)Hong Kong/ Oakland/ Chicago and vice versa
(d)Hong Kong/ Vancouver and vice versa
(e)Hong Kong/ Sydney/ Melbourne and vice versa
(f)Hong Kong/ San Francisco and vice versa
(g)Hong Kong/ London Gatwick/ Manchester and vice versa
(h)Hong Kong/ Singapore and vice versa
(i)Hong Kong/ Bangkok and vice versa
(j)Hong Kong/ Denpasar and vice versa
(k)Hong Kong/ Ho Chi Ming City and vice versa
(l)Hong Kong/ Las Vegas/ New York/ Los Angeles/ San Francisco/ Vancouver/ Boston/ Toronto/ Honolulu and vice versa
(m)Hong Kong/ Amsterdam/ Cologne/ Dubai/ Dusseldorf/ Frankfurt/ Istanbul/ London/ Luxembourg/ Manchester/ Milan/ Moscow/ Paris/ Tel Aviv/ Zurich/ Baku (Azerbaijan)/ Bangalore/ Bangkok/ Delhi/ Ho Chi Ming City/ Jakarta/ Kula Lumpur/ Manila/ Mumbai/ Osaka/ Seoul/ Singapore/ Tokyo/ Xiamen and vice versa

    A common condition of these licences was that the licence would lapse if the holder of the licence was going into liquidation or being wound up. Having carefully considered submissions made on behalf of Oasis, the authority was of the view that, following Oasis' presentation of a petition for its own winding up by the court due to insolvency, the appointment of provisional liquidators for the airline by the court and the cessation of operation of Oasis' air services on April 9, 2008, Oasis has gone into winding up or liquidation. In accordance with the licence condition, the licences held by Oasis have lapsed.

    The full written decision (English only) can be obtained at the Authority's website -http://www.thb.gov.hk/eng/boards/transport/air/atla.htm
