From ABC news website:

Overseas airlines eye O'Connor assets

The troubled O'Connor Airlines has assured passengers it is still operating, despite being in voluntary administration.

The administrator, Sam Davies, says there has already been interest in the company from overseas carriers looking to move into the Australian market.

He says other regional operators have also made enquiries.

The airline went into administration yesterday, owing creditors about $4 million to $5 million.

Mr Davies says the company will honour all existing travel bookings and is taking new bookings.

He says the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, the South Australian Government and regional councils have all offered support to help keep the regional airline operating.

It flies between Adelaide, Mount Gambier and Port Augusta in SA and Mildura in north-west Victoria.

A meeting of creditors will be held jointly in Adelaide and Mount Gambier next week.
