CityJet examinership extended
Summary
The High Court extended CityJet's examinership protection from 70 to 100 days, the maximum allowed under Irish law. Judge Michael Quinn refused Mr Evan Cullen of IALPA's request to extend the statutory 30‑day notice period for redundancies, which would have applied to the airline's 57 Irish‑based pilots. Cullen argued the extension would allow all options to be considered before the examinership process, citing the pilots' protest over outsourcing. The judge said the court lacked jurisdiction to grant such an order within the examinership hearing but allowed IALPA to apply separately for any proposed redundancies. The examiner, Kieran Wallace of KPMG, now has until 25 July to formulate a scheme of arrangement with creditors, which, if approved, would allow CityJet to survive. The airline has resumed flying routes for SAS and is seeking a private restructure after Covid‑related financial difficulties. The case will return to court in late July.
