IBC can’t resolve airline bankruptcies: Experts at Mint BFSI Summit

Live Mint  

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code can't resolve airline bankruptcies, according to RK Bansal, CEO and managing director of asset reconstruction company Edelweiss ARC. Speaking during a panel discussion titled ‘IBC and Banks: Challenges and Solutions’ at the Mint BFSI Summit and Awards 2024, Bansal highlighted a fundamental issue in the Indian aviation sector – most airlines don't own their planes and other assets. The insolvencies of Jet Airways and Go First underscore the enduring challenges in the Indian aviation industry – high costs, low profits, fierce competition, and a lack of scale. Go First filed for IBC protection in May 2023, blaming Pratt & Whitney engine failures for its financial woes, but has struggled to attract a viable resolution plan owing to legal challenges from lessors.
