DLA Piper appointed as trustee in Primera Air bankruptcy proceedings

Please be advised that on 2 October 2018 at 7:08 am, the Copenhagen Maritime and Commercial High Court commenced bankruptcy proceedings against PAS A/S (formerly Primera Air Scandinavia A/S).

The Bankruptcy Court has appointed Lawyer Finn Lynge Jepsen of Elmann, Lawyer Morten Hans Jakobsen of Gorrissen Federspiel and Lawyer Henrik Sjørslev of DLA Piper Denmark as joint trustees of the company in bankruptcy. The trustees have asked the aviation authorities to assist with the cancellation of scheduled flights, which are consequently not expected to be carried out, and the trustees have also notified the Danish Travel Guarantee Fund about the bankruptcy.

The company website Primeraair.dk is owned by the Icelandic parent company, which means that the trustees have no technical access to the website, and the trustees have therefore asked the parent company to immediately cease selling tickets to all scheduled air services operated by the company in bankruptcy. All creditors are requested to submit their proofs of claim to the trustees by email to primera@dlapiper.com.

The trustees expect to be contacted by a large number of creditors affected by the bankruptcy and that the case processing time will therefore be quite long. Travellers affected by the bankruptcy should therefore initially contact their travel agent and the Travel Guarantee Fund.
