A large number of passengers have been left abandoned when on April 9 an announcement came from Oasis Hong Kong Airlines that the company was going into liquidation.

The airline has been forced to call off its flights between Gatwick and Hong Kong, which were scheduled to depart at 8.40 p.m. The passengers of this flight would need to get to some other alternative as the company won't be flying any other flight.

A spokeswoman in London for Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific told the Metro that as a result of cancellation of flights, many passengers including little ones returning after their school holidays have been abandoned without flights.

Cathay Pacific is offering special fares for one-way travel between London and Hong Kong until 23rd April. The carrier is operating a four times a day service between these destinations.

The airline's spokesperson also said that the carrier was checking out the possibility of adding more flights on the route. This could be helpful in getting the passengers to their destination in time and without being too much late.

While making comments on the events, Tony Tyler, Cathay Pacific chief executive, said, "We will be doing our utmost to help people out, and will certainly do everything in our power to co-operate with the Hong Kong government and other carriers to minimise the impact on the travelling public".

Passengers would need to stay tuned to the developments so that they can get back to Gatwick using flights of Cathay Pacific.
