Å drive LCC-samarbeid i Asia er ikke lett

[Trdfly]

Nå kan det se ut til å spøke for Jetstar Hong Kong. LCC-samarbeider i Asia skal vise seg å ikke være helt enkelt, man kan nevne AirAsia, Tigerair og Jetstar. Alle har måtte legge ned i flere land etter at deres to* ''moderflyselskaper'' ikke ble enige..

China Eastern Airlines (MU, Shanghai Hongqiao) says its board of directors has approved a resolution concerning the proposed closing down of Jetstar Hong Kong (Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok), a failed joint-venture between the Chinese carrier, Qantas (QF, Sydney Kingford Smith), and Hong Kong-based property and transportation conglomerate, Shun Tak Holdings.

In a statement to the Shanghai stock exchange, the Chinese carrier said it would shortly be touch with Shun Tak and Qantas in regards to its proposal.

Following months of uncertainty, the Hong Kong Air Transport Licensing Authority (ATLA), in June, finally rejected Jetstar Hong Kong's application for an Air Services Licence (ASL) on the grounds that it does not comply with local law governing an airline's Principal Place of Business (PPB) - which must necessarily be in Hong Kong.

"The Board deeply regrets that the application for Air Transport Licence made by Jetstar Hong Kong has been refused," China Eastern said. "The Company looks forward that the relevant regulatory authorities of Hong Kong will provide a fair, open and rule of law business environment to global investors based on the principle of encouraging market competition."
