Where do we think the administrator is going to get the money from ? There are going to be a lot of unpaid bills around. It will take them until probably past the repatriation period to understand all the accounts and the legal implications of what they find.

If the carrier has ceased trading there is nobody with their name on the line to take responsibility. The insurers will have suspended cover on everything. The aircraft are likely to be seized by bailiffs for the first who gets to them who is owed significant sums. You can't work like that.
