(CAPA) Oasis Hong Kong Airlines appointed a Korean sales agent in an effort to strengthen its operations in Korea. Under the agreement with Holiday Airlines Co Ltd, travellers will be offered services on regional carrier, Hong Kong Airlines, from Cheongju International Airport, North Chungcheong Province, to Hong Kong, and connecting services to London and Vancouver, Canada, on Oasis Hong Kong Airlines.
Raymond Ng, Oasis Hong Kong Sales and Marketing General Manager, said negotiations are under way with Hong Kong Airlines to provide more convenient flight transfers for passengers, including automatic baggage transfers between services and cheaper fares.
"We are negotiating with Hong Kong Airlines on several issues to increase convenience and reduce costs for our passengers," said Ng. "The company will also approach both Korean Air and Asiana Airlines with a proposal to form a strategic partnership so that Korean passengers will be able to enjoy cheaper fares to all of our destinations."
Ng said the airline plans to expand its fleet of three Boeing 747s to five by the end of the year and that it would add a further five planes to its fleet each year. Ng added that with more routes opening, the LCC is also hoping to establish more connections to Korea and other countries.
"By establishing business links in nearby markets such as Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines, we will be able to secure passengers," Ng said.
"Korea's potential makes it a particularly attractive market. Not only is the country's travel industry growing rapidly but its geographical position will provide a good stopover destination for the company's flights to North America."
Launched in Oct-06, Oasis Hong Kong Airlines is a Hong Kong-based carrier that provides direct services from Hong Kong to London and Vancouver at low prices. The airlines aims to make long-distance travel more accessible.
"Our target consumers are those who have limited budgets such as those who work for or run small- and medium-sized enterprises."
