Your experience sounds similar to my trip to China. I went with the now defunct Oasis Hong Kong airline. Cheap tickets, great service, more legroom than my flight back from Beijing with BA. They also had plans for expansion.
The low-cost model didn't work out for them, probably in great part due to the super-spike in oil prices. Small airlines can't survive for long in a tough environment (even big airlines which have power to get better fuel prices are having a hard time).
