If they file/declare bankrupt, then assets that go under administration (for e.g aircrafts on lease, ARs,buildings etc) can be cashed out by the creditors, which I believe is still the same under Indian insolvency act. The act recently became a law which gave some breathing space to Vijay Mallya and everyone thought he would declare kingfisher bankrupt (which he has not yet done)
Also, just did a google search, and I feel airline companies going bankrupt in India is probably by 'design' as it appears to be the case historically from NEPC, Damania, Sahara, Kingfisher and now 9W. Jolly good riddance on the law/system....

once that happens, as per the insolvency & bankruptcy code, this should be resolved within 280 days....but its not uncommon to come across situations where it takes longer than what the code indicates....
we are all new to ibc & nclt so as far as many are concerned, this is still a learning process & we have a long way to go before it is perfected....
