Tried to find somewhere to put this story so though I'd start a thread for general news.
I was just checking out the online news to read that an Airline I've never even heard of has been grounded.

I was just checking out the online news to read that an Airline I've never even heard of has been grounded.
THOUSANDS of Air Australia passengers are stranded overseas after the budget airline was abruptly placed into administration overnight.
More than 4000 travellers have been told to find another way home after the airline's fleet was grounded indefinitely.
"There's about 4000 people overseas and they actively need to manage their own affairs, our call centre can take the calls but they should not be relying on Air Australia to get them back," Mark Morda, a spokesman for administrators KordaMentha, told 3AW.
"They actively should be trying to find another airline, during the night we’ve also talked to Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin."
He said the airline had run out of money to refuel its planes overnight.
