just a thought.
The simple answer is no. Once TC entered liquidation their Operating License and AOC were immediately suspended or revoked. This mean there is no legal basis for the aircraft to operate. Moving aircraft onto another airlines AOC is not instantaneous and all crew would have to be trained on the different operations.
