Around 4,000 Air Australia passengers are either stranded overseas or missing out on flights after the budget airline was suddenly placed into administration overnight.
The carrier, which was launched just three months ago, is based out of Brisbane and operated routes to Hawaii, Phuket and Bali, as well as several domestic Australian services.
A statement from administrators KordaMentha was posted on the Air Australia website and also handed to passengers awaiting flights.
“In the short term, the fleet will be grounded,” it read. “It currently appears that there are no funds available to meet operational expenses, so flights will be suspended immediately.”
The passenger advisory went on to make it clear that stranded travelers are on their own. “The flight will not take place. You should make alternate arrangements,” it warned.
