Eastern Airways (UK) Limited - November 12
Eastern Airways (UK) Limited, a UK domestic airline, fell into administration earlier this month, with James Miller and Gareth Harris of RSM UK Restructuring Advisory appointed as joint administrators.
The airline’s collapse came in the wake of a recent contract termination, which left the business with high fixed overheads and an unsustainable staff base. Efforts to secure the future of the business failed in the face of its immediate funding requirement, resulting in the appointment of administrators and the cessation of day-to-day operations.
In accounts for the year to March 31 2024, Eastern Airways (UK) Limited reported turnover of £38 million, up from £34 million a year earlier, while moving from an operating loss of around £124,000 to a profit of £368,000. At the time, its assets were valued at around £26 million, with net assets amounting to £6.2 million.
Miller and Harris were also appointed as joint administrators of Air Kilroe Limited, which forms part of Eastern Airways. During the same period, Air Kilroe Limited reported turnover of £28.6 million, up from £22.3 million, but saw operating profit dip from around £214,000 to approximately £140,000. Its fixed assets were valued at £16.1 million and current assets at £1.6 million, with net assets totalling £5.3 million.
