National Files For Bankruptcy Protection
Dec 7, 2000
National Airlines last night sought protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of U.S. bankruptcy law.
The airline blamed its financial troubles on rising fuel costs.
The company filed for bankruptcy protection Wednesday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada.
The Las Vegas-based airline said its service will not be interrupted.
"Once we have completed the reorganization process, we expect National Airlines to emerge as a stronger company with a sound financial structure that is appropriate not only for today's level of business activity, but also for the future," Michael J. Conway, president and chief executive officer of National, said in a press release.
"The decision to file for Chapter 11 protection was difficult, but necessary in order to protect our ability to meet our obligations to our customers."
National Airlines, marketed as a hometown airline that could bring more tourists to Las Vegas, began service on May 27, 1999.
National offers service to Chicago Midway, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, N.J. New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington D.C. Service to Chicago O'Hare is scheduled to begin on January 25, 2001.
Unfortunately... and here recently they had an article in Aviation Weekly Space and Technology where it seemed as if they were in good shape...
