world-renowned airline company requested bankruptcy protection.
Lithuania-based airline airBaltic, due to rising fuel costs and a heavy debt burden, applied for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in the United States.
The Latvia‑based airline airBaltic filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in the United States due to financial pressure from rising fuel costs and increasing debt burden. The company announced that flights would continue during the restructuring process and that a $405 million financing commitment had been secured.
AirBaltic, which is majority‑owned by the Latvian state, filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in New York following the financial difficulties it faced.
In a statement from the company, it was said that the filing was made to protect creditors during a restructuring process that would be conducted under court supervision. AirBaltic said that the current flight schedule would be maintained despite the restructuring.
405 Million Dollar Financing Support
The company announced that a total financing commitment of $405 million had been secured to allow operations to continue uninterrupted during the restructuring.
It was reported that the financing support was provided by lenders including Strategic Value Partners, Barclays, Hayfin Capital Management, Morgan Stanley and Oaktree Capital Management.
airBaltic aims to sustain its operations with the secured financing and to restructure its financial framework.
Rising costs are putting pressure.
In the company's bankruptcy protection filing, it was noted that, in recent months, rising fuel costs and debt burden, along with financial pressures in the aviation sector, have been significant.
While the process to be carried out under Chapter 11 does not mean the company will cease operations entirely, it allows airBaltic to restructure its debts and financial obligations.
