Rumours started circulating on Wednesday morning that they were going under, and they announced on Wednesday afternoon that they had gone into liquidation, and that the two flights incoming at that moment would be the last flights made by the airline, at least in its current structure. Passengers on board the planes were told *mid-air* that their airline had gone bust! There has been a mad scramble for seats to those destinations on other carriers, and my flatmate still hasn't managed to replace the now-worthless ticket she had booked to fly to London about 6 weeks from now. Oasis may not have been a serious global airline, but they were flying long-haul, international routes...
