The High Court discharged an order detaining an Air Moldova aircraft at Dublin Airport on 26 February 2021 after a settlement in a leasing dispute. The Airbus had been grounded on 5 February following a €4.2 million arbitration award to Romanian leasing firm Just-US Air Srl against the Air Moldova firm.

The court was told the parties had reached a resolution, and Mr Justice Barniville discharged the order restraining removal of the aircraft. Final matters were adjourned to the following Tuesday, when counsel expected the proceedings could be struck out.
