Companies listed as creditors of SIA SmartLynx Airlines and belonging to the Avia Solutions Group holding structure have declined to pursue court claims against what was once their sister company. This became known after the deadline for submitting creditor claims to the insolvency administrator expired.
When a loved one requires urgent medical evacuation, families are often forced to act fast — emotionally and financially. In July 2024, one such family contracted EMS Air Ambulance & Medical Repatriation Ltd, a UK-based company offering bedside-to-bedside repatriation. What followed was not just a logistical failure — it was a masterclass in how carefully drafted contracts can trap vulnerable clients and make recovery of funds nearly impossible.
Another subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group—the Slovak ACMI operator AirExplore—will soon cease to exist as an independent company. BLACKLIST.AERO was informed of this by a source within the company.
The year 2025 turned out to be one of the most difficult for aviation as a whole. One can talk endlessly about the heavy legacy of the post-COVID era, which manifested itself in a global disruption of supply chains and, as a consequence, a shortage of new aircraft and spare parts, delays in maintenance, and so on. Added to this were geopolitical risks—at times it seems the whole world wants to fight more than to create. We are living through a turning point, where the old world order has already been completely destroyed, while the new one has not yet taken on any clear shape. Aviation, in this process, is a litmus test reflecting all of these dynamics.
