Budget carrier in race to win flights license

It's a race against the clock for one new Hong Kong airline that has put everything on the line in a risky gamble: in less than a month, Oasis Hong Kong Airlines may be forced to shell out more than HK$10 million in customer refunds if it does not receive an operating license in time for its first flight.

Oasis entered the limelight earlier this month when it began selling its "hot deal" - a one-way trip from Hong Kong to London for HK$1,000 - to celebrate its inaugural flight on October 25. Tickets sold like hotcakes, averaging 1,100 a day, with more than 10,000 sold in the first two weeks - or more than half of total inventory, according to a company spokesman.

But here's the catch: the airline, which applied for a license in Hong Kong over a year ago, cannot fly until it receives government approval.

The consequences of failing may be fatal for Oasis. The airline, which began selling tickets on September 4, has already sold them for flights as far ahead as March 26, 2007. Beginning November, according to the company, flight frequency will increase from four times a week to daily from both Hong Kong and London.

The high-stakes bet by Oasis has alarmed the Civil Aviation Department, which said it has "repeatedly" reminded the airline to warn its customers of the situation and have refunds ready.

As the approval process for an operating license is "long and complicated," there is no guarantee Oasis will receive approval before its October 25 deadline, a department spokesman said Friday.

He added that licensing depends on many factors, including aircraft condition, maintenance arrangements and suitable manpower. "There's no usual timeframe for completing the process. Taking several years is not unusual," the spokesman said.

To date, the Hong Kong government has only granted an air operator's license to nine airlines, including Cathay Pacific, Dragonair and Air Hong Kong.

But an Oasis spokesman Friday said the airline is confident it will receive approval by mid-October - just days before its first departure. He added the airline is already scheduled to perform a test flight of its aircraft for government officials, representing one of the last stages of the licensing process.

The airline's two Boeing 747-400 aircraft, previously owned and operated by Singapore Airlines, can accommodate 278 economy and 81 business passengers. Oasis has applied for route licenses to Cologne, Berlin, Milan, San Francisco and Chicago but has yet to begin ticket sales for those destinations.
