One of their aircraft is currently at LGW, parked.

The aircraft will not be moving until they find out who's going to be paying for it to go back home.

Another airline lost...

The person wondering about alaska air, there is no way it is going out, Alaska Air runs a lot of cargo in alaska with it combi (1/2 cargo 1/2 people) and it is the only way to get to a lot of places in alaska, along with the main airline out of alaska (rents almost all of ANC (anchorage) and fairbanks airports) Also they just recenintaly bought a LOT of new aircraft

Well whatdya know, you're right! NOW the Oasis website says it...

Edit: here is the notice on the oasis website:

Notice to Passengers

It is with regret that Oasis Hong Kong Airlines announces that the airline has this morning applied to the Hong Kong Court to appoint a provisional liquidator. The Court has appointed Edward Middleton and Patrick Cowley of KPMG as the provisional liquidators, and they have assumed control of the airline with effect from 1400h HKG time today.

Our flight operations have been cancelled until further notice. The Provisional Liquidators are liaising with other airlines in order to help customers make alternate travel arrangements as quickly as possible.

I have seen an ATA aircraft (DC-10 or MD-11; was too far away) at LEJ today. Seemed that it had not moved since I saw it last Friday.

EDIT:
Have a look at this page.

If airlines will continue to cease operations (or to merge) at this speed we will probably have 70 airlines less beginning 2009 than at the end of 2007 :cry:

Although BA says that it is going to help Oasis' passengers too but actually all the flights were already full before BA announced that.

now, who next?

NORTHWEST

The only reason ATA stayed afloat was their affiliation with Southwest.

Didnt Northwest merge with Delta?

No. The merger fell apart when the pilot's unions couldn't come to an agreement for merging the seniority lists.

Just happened to be scanning the news and the Wall Street Journal is now saying that the Delta-Northwest announcement could come Tuesday - even without the support of the pilot's unions :shock: Brings back thoughts of Pan Am-National.......

There are two Skyway Beeches sitting at the Beechcraft/Raytheon Maintence Hanger at RFD.... Its kinda ironic that just a year ago there were four ex Fly-I CRJ's sitting on the other side of th airport from these... The CRJ's went to OO and now operate as YX*

Chapter 11 is a LONG way from a shutdown or Chapter 7.

The folks who own those very nice Airbii aren't going to be happy though...

But I believe Hampo was one of the two that got it right.... right now.. Pax, sexy but not good, Cargo decidedly not sexy, but a great place to be... (Okay for airline dorks, cargo is sexy also)

I was just about to intervene- where else could you still see all those beautiful old birds?

But the list of bankruptcies sounds quite scary. Carriers like AZ better get some sense and save themselves!!!

The Death List: :twisted:
(in my opinion)
"major risk":

Express Jet
Mesa Aviation Group

Moderate to Major risk:

Silver Jet - I would think - maybe

Virgin America - At this point, however, this would meen SRB doesn't intervene
Frontier - I think they'll make it

Low Risk- But still at risk:

AA - But... that would probably Chap. 11
DL and NW ... seem to be maybe merging
UA and CO... "supposedly" are going to merge if DL/NW does
US ... no comment...
Air Tran ... it was said by the News that they may be in trouble...

Thats all I can think of... I dont know about in Europe other than Alitalia... Olympic will never fall becuase there owned by the government and there controlled by unions.... which happen to be "stronger" than the actual government

NW and DL merged, see my thread
