The first meeting of creditors was held yesterday. You can read the statement from the first creditors meeting here.

It appears that at least some payments made by customers have not been passed on to airlines, which of course places peoples airline bookings in danger.

So what should you do?

  • If you paid by credit card – contact your credit card issuer, and see if you can halt payment
  • Try contacting the Administrator on +61 7 3023 1300 However, I doubt they will tell you more than is in the press statement
  • Contact the airline that you booked, and check whether you have a valid booking
