Oasis Hong Kong Airlines Limited (Chinese: 甘泉香港航空公司) was a long-haul, low-cost Asian airline. It operated scheduled services to London Gatwick Airport and Vancouver International Airport from its hub, Hong Kong International Airport.^[1] The airline offered low fares as its selling technique, which was similar to the operation principle of a low-cost airline.

Oasis was one of a growing number of long-haul passenger airlines, such as Zoom Airlines, to adopt a budget airline model pioneered by the now defunct Laker Airways Skytrain service in the 1970s. Oasis offered non-stop service from Hong Kong to London, and began a service to Vancouver on 28 June 2007.^[2] The airline was voted "World's Leading New Airline" at the Annual World Travel Awards 2007.^[3]

Much of the original success of Oasis Hong Kong was due to the airline's widely advertised minimum fares beginning at just GBP£75 one way. However, fares later became much less competitive.

On 9 April 2008, Oasis's CEO Stephen Miller announced at a press conference that the company would cease operations after suffering an accumulated loss of HK$1 billion (US$128 million) since its launch in October 2006. Accounting firm KPMG was appointed provisional liquidator by the airline.^[4]
