I am not sure if the inner workings of Voluntary Administration versus US style Chapter 11, but under Chapter 11, equipment can be handed back to lessors on an "as is where is" basis. I have seen aircraft returned to lessors which are no longer airworthy due to expired scheduled maintenance. The lessor has been responsible for conducting outstanding maintenance and flying the aircraft back to the chosen parking destination.
