Oasis, the Hong Kong-based carrier that took on Cathay Pacific and British Airways on routes to London and Vancouver, is reportedly closing up shop today. It is already well into tomorrow in Hong Kong and the inbound flights appear to still be operating and the outbounds are still scheduled rather than cancelled at this point, but the rumors are running pretty strong that the end has come.
