Air Australia!
but Perth Airport chief executive Brad Geatches said his organisation was insisting that Air Australia pay outstanding charges.
"We are sensitive to these matters; I've got two Ozjet aircraft sitting on my airfield

Geezz mate, bit rough.
I can understand he'd be nervous, Strategic own Ozjet, so if any money was owing to Perth Airport I can imagine he'd be a bit gun shy.
And if he trys to get any info and goes to the Air Australia website he'd notice that the menu item "media" is gone - guess when there is no good news you shut up shop and give nuthin.
I understand from the fellas inside that the flight attendent fella that owns the business doesnt communicate to the troops, so im guessing that coms to folks they own money to is even worse.
All a bit ugly I reckon.

What corner do you work "the hooker"? Might have to visit sometime. On a serious note the vultures are circling and as sandilands reported all the reports on their instability has and will cause further depletion in their fwb's. There are good people there, some friends of mine and i feel for them... Unfortunately the CEO ain't one

Not looking good folks. I have a mate stranded in Phuket right now. 4 hour delay and counting. The airport authorities are telling him it's because Air Australia have not paid their outstanding fuel bills.
short flights long nights
the web site is live seems it is over
My Son's at Brissy airport to check-in for BNE-MEL-HKT and Air Australia have definitely ceased operations......hoping Jetstar might look after him via SYD to HKT

ABC quote KordaMentha saying no flights in the immediate future.

Voluntary administration. All flights cancelled. Passengers told to find their own way home.
All over folks.

Very sad. A reflection in many ways about the state of the economy here in Australia. Its only going to get worse in my opinion.

... for those that may be interested or know someone affected by this, KordaMentha have released a detailed information statement in PDF format.
That can be accessed from the Air Australia webpage - FAQ's.
Bugger!

While everyone supports the good work done by all those at the coal face.
It is poor form on the directors and owners to continue operating the way they have, not paying their bills and putting other businesses at risk.
So once again the hard work of the employees is undermined by the recklessness of its owners and directors. Sound famillier?

QF's AJ a short time ago has said that both QF and JQ are looking to assist affected pax - if pax present themselves at any of the QF/JQ counters with the ticket and they'll see what they can do to honour the travel for the same cost of the already purchased fare. I'd be thinking that may come as a surprise to the counter staff until the advice is given from above to below .. but refer to AJ's announcement via live interview about 15 minutes ago
