Global Airlines, the airline set up by James Asquith in 2021, has been forced into liquidation after creditors obtained a court order to wind up the failed project.
Asquith agreed a deal to purchase an Airbus A380 super jumbo with a plan to operate flights between the UK and the US but only managed to operate a pair of “showcase” charter flights which were slammed by passengers for poor service.
The winding up order was granted earlier this month in favour of creditor Jessica Huffman Reese, from Florida, which means that Global Airlines Ltd has formally entered administration.
Administrators will now assess what assets the airline has, including whether it is still the owner of the A380 9H-GLOBL which is on the Maltese aviation register and stored in France.
