Oasis Heads to Airline Oasis in the Sky

It really is flavor of the month to shut down your airline, and it doesn't seem to matter which part of the world you're in. The newest victim is Oasis Hong Kong, a long-haul low cost carrier which, until yesterday, was serving routes like Hong Kong to Vancouver and Hong Kong to London.

Not anymore. Wednesday morning's arrival in London was announced as the last flight and stranded passengers are getting deals on Cathay to return to HK. There hasn't been any official reason given, but plenty are now speculating that long-haul and low-cost are simply incompatible concepts. We hope they're wrong.
