Started in October 2006, Oasis Hong Kong Airlines pioneers a fresh approach to flying. Its raison d’?tre is simple: making frequent long-haul travel accessible to all. Oasis Hong Kong Airlines provides not only unbelievable fares but also the opportunity for passengers to customise their flight experience, in either business or economy classes. Oasis Hong Kong Airlines Limited launched with affordable daily direct long-haul flights between Hong Kong and London Gatwick. Now this innovative long-haul discount carrier has expanded its global footprint, with the launch of a new six times weekly direct service connecting Hong Kong with Vancouver, Canada.

Vancouver is the largest city in Western Canada, and the third largest city in the country. Vancouver is home to one of the world’s largest Chinese communities outside of Asia, and is a popular place of residence for many expatriate and retiree Hong Kong Chinese. Until now, many of these families were unable to travel to visit their relatives as often as they would like, due to the high costs of international air tickets. Oasis Hong Kong Airlines Limited is set to change that, bringing affordable long-haul travel to all and helping families meet up more often.

Booked online in advance, the cost of an Oasis Hong Kong economy ticket between Hong Kong and Vancouver can be significantly lower that that of competitor airlines’ two-stop services, whilst the cost of a business class ticket can be comparable to the cost of an economy ticket on other airlines. That’s good news for family members living thousands of miles apart, and also for the large Chinese business community in Vancouver that maintains strong ties with Hong Kong, Mainland China and the rest of Asia.
