Apparently the above shut up shop last night

Interesting, I heared that 'rumour' yesterday morning from an industry colleague, yet even today their website is still active and accepting bookings, and nothing on their press releases.
All very odd..

Who is the Administrator?

Thanks VB. Several Lessors got their aircraft and records out before teh airline shut shop - so had early warning. There will be lean pickings for the Administrator - no spare engines but possibly a rotable and consumable stock.
