HONG KONG (XFN-ASIA) - Cathay Pacific Airways said it will do all it can to help passengers stranded as a result of Oasis Hong Kong Airlines decision to cancel all of its passenger services from 9 April.
"We sympathize with the many passengers in Hong Kong, London and Vancouver who have been stranded by the Oasis' decision, and we will do our very best to help them through this difficult and stressful period," said Cathay Pacific chief executive Tony Tyler.
He said two additional Cathay flights to London would be added in the early hours tomorrow and Sunday to existing services with priority given to the large number of schoolchildren returning to the UK at the end of the current school term break this weekend.
A number of seats would be set aside on these as well as scheduled flights, where possible, to accommodate the returning students.
Special ticketing arrangements have been made to help Oasis customers who had confirmed bookings on the airline over the next two weeks - effective up to and including April 23, 2008.
Cathay will offer a special one-way economy class fare at 2,500 hkd, including applicable charges, to eligible Oasis ticket holders on Hong Kong to London, or Hong Kong to Vancouver flights.
Oasis officials said the airline has ceased operations and that it had filed for provisional liquidation.
